  So far I’ve only used the readymade online tools. I want to install WordPress on my computer, so I can then install the Comicspress theme and start publishing a webcomic. I downloaded the program, got as far as “fill in your database details” and I’m stuck. I don’t understand what the database is.

  @skorpen: you need to go to the WordPress.org Forums, which provide support for self-hosted blogs. This forum only supports blogs hosted at WordPress.com.

  A more detailed explanantion of the differences is here: WordPress.com or WordPress.org ? The difference.

  Well, you’re in the wrong forum for self-installs. Head over to http://wordpress.org/support/
