I recommend hosting your blog with either GoDaddy or Bluehost, and can help set this up for you if you’d like.

Thesis WordPress Theme – $87 (a one time charge)
Every blog needs a theme, which controls the visual layout. The theme I recommend is the Thesis Theme for WordPress. In addition to the layout, it offers built in SEO features and is highly customizable. Thesis offers much more than most blog themes and is considered to be the best theme on the market. It is considered an industry standard and used by many well-known bloggers.
