Once my account was set up with AN Hosting I used Fantastico in Cpanel to install Wordpress. It took just a few minutes to install. After that the administration of the blog is pretty much exactly like it was on Wordpress.com. Hope that helps! Hi, Jarrod

I want to have a unique URL (www.jmartsroom.com vs. jmartsroom.wordpress.com) without hosting somewhere else. If you could help, I'd appreciate it.
