The reason why I started using WordPress was because of all the great online help that they have in their documentation and in support forums.

Most hosting companies offer easy to install WordPress blogging systems. Look for hosting that has what is called a "Cpanel" and "Fantastico" installed. Fantastico is just a program that installs programs for you. I use and recommend www.ez-web-hosting.com for Wordpress installations. Here is an overview on using WordPress:
