This is the WordPress Getting Started Post.
Getting Started Tutorial
This tutorial recommends you do not use free site. I would strongly urge anyone w/o a lot of internet development experience to use a free site to determine if you really want to set up a website. Once you get into it you will find it a lot more difficult than you may have expected.
WordPress.com has a free site that is a great place to get you feet wet.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW.
