  First i registered this blog at wordpress.com and bought the domain name for this blog directly from wordpress.com but now i am thinking of installing wordpress 3.0 into my laptop so that i can install additional themes into it and use them but i realize that there is a lot of complicated steps I have to take.

  question 1 : Is my domain name the same as what you called the “host” or do I have to get it from somewhere else?
  question 2 : Is there a easier way to install wordpress 3.0 ?
  question 3 : Will i be able to link it to my current blog?

  Thank you very much if someone can help me as I tried finding for a few weeks already and there isn’t seem to be answers to my questions, I will appreciated it very much:)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you want to install themes that are not available on WordPress.com, you need a self-hosted WordPress, available from WordPress.org. Please review these information to clear up any confusion:
