  Hi, I have just signed up to a SiteGround web hosting service. They offer WordPress as one of their tools. What do I need to do at your end to start to use it.
  Cheers,
  Cezary

  simply: nothing as Siteground uses the open source wordpress.org and here we are using the wordpress.com platform what’s quite different.

  Oh, I see, so I didn’t need to subscribe to wordpress to be able to use wordpress at siteground?
