  I am following The Minimalist guide on how to start a blog and I have a domain and used Bluehost but I don’t know how to connect with WordPress

  Hi there, if Bluehost is your web hosting provider, you’ll want to contact their support directly for assistance in installing the WordPress open source software on their servers.

  For general help with a site using the open source WP software, head over to https://wordpress.org/support/ where you’ll find documentation and users who have more experience with the software you are using. If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums you can register one on the top of that page.

  Just to clarify, this support forum assists users with free websites hosted on the WPcom platform. For more information on the differences: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  Hi peck96, that’s going to be a different setup than what we offer here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  I’d recommend contacting Bluehost to see if they can help you through setup of the free WordPress software.

  Or if you’d like us to run the software for you, you’d be welcome to move the site to our hosting instead. Here’s our pricing:

  Let us know if you have any questions on that!
