  We don’t provide support here for local installs of wordpress.org software here at wordpress.com. The keepers of that software are here http://wordpress.org/support/ and that’s where all your support must come from. To register a username account at wordpress.org click that link and go to the top right hand cornber of that page and do so. To locate a web host see here > http://wordpress.org/hosting/

  This blog is already live and hosted for free on wordpress.com
  http://www.tycoondesigns..wordpress.com

  You don’t have to install anything to use it.

  If that is the blog you want to work on, then I’d suggest working your way through this tutorial:

  You will need to buy hosting and export your WordPress.com blog to a WordPress.org install in order to create or upload themes, but it doesn’t sound like you’re at that level yet. Better off staying here for now and learning to use the actual blog software. We’ve got something like 150 themes to choose from here.

  @Timethief
  It means that the blog is already hosted because 1tress told me that it is live and working so it means that i can post?

  @raincoaster
  If i need to buy hosting then i need to buy domain as well?

  Here’s that http://learn.wordpress.com/ link again. It’s also on the bottom of your Admin page
  The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

  There is no expiration date on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
