  Hi
  I recently bought a Theme (creative portfolio) and I am planning to build my new site. In fact I own a domain. The site that runs on it was build by muself, typing old-fashioned html. Now I want to use the benefits WordpPress offers.
  Still I am doubting:
  Was it necessary to buy and download, and to take all steps to upload & install WP and theme to my host, including upgrade my account to make it possible to use MySQL databases, OR can I use CP on-line and use it under the Domain I own already?
  Thanks for helping,
  Joost
