It’s Easy As…
1. Find a Web Host and get great hosting while supporting WordPress at the same time.
2. Download & Install WordPress with their famous 5-minute installation.
3. Consult the Documentation and become a WordPress expert yourself.
Find the hosts that are the best for you at http://wordpress.org/hosting/
Don’t worry about CSS, HTML, etc. Wordpress would take care of that for you.
But you must know what are plugins first.
In computing, a plug-in (also: plugin, addin, add-in, addon, add-on, snap-in, snapin or extension) consists of a computer program that interacts with a host application (a web browser or an email client, for example) to provide a certain, usually very specific, function “on demand”. Applications support plugins for many reasons. Some of the main reasons include:
* to enable third-party developers to create capabilities to extend an application
* to support features yet unforeseen
* to reduce the size of an application
* to separate source code from an application because of incompatible software licenses.
Don’t really need to know about plugins but if you want here are the 10-must-haves-plugins:
AnyFont
AnyFont allows you to use any truetype font for post titles, menu items or anywhere else you want to use a custom font in your theme design. Very handy when you want to use custom fonts on your page – it’s easy to use and works very well.
ShareThis
ShareThis is an absolute must for all blogs. The ShareThis WordPress plugin provides a simple way for users to add your post to many social bookmarking sites, or to send a link to your post via email, AIM, Facebook, Twitter and more.
All-In-One SEO Pack
Another absolute must foranyone who wants more traffic to their blog. Sets your optimum SEO preferences and make sure you are reaching the largest audience you can.
CForms II
CForms II is an AJAX driven form generator that allows the user to place a form anywhere in their blog, including multiple forms on one page. Very handy, saves tons of time, and is super user-friendly. Highly recommended.
Google Sitemaps Generator
Another SEO must – this plugin does just what you would think – it generates XML Sitemaps for your Wordpress Installation. Good tool to have.
AJAX Edit Comments
Another cool AJAX tool – this one allows you or your users to edit comments in a faster and more user-friendly way. Anything that saves time is good. That’s not accurate as a generality at all, so please disregard. In this case, though – still a good thing.
Drop-Cap First Character
For those of you trying to add a little charm to your posts, the Drop Cap Plugin may work for you. Presents a classy look that could work well in many designs.
WP Geo
WP Geo is a Google Maps for WordPress plugin which enables you to easily attribute a location and map to a post or page. Cool when announcing events of posting about a location – allows easy navigation for your reader and a point of reference as well.
AdSense Manager
For those of you monetizing your blog with Google AdSense, this is a great tool. It allows you to place your code one time, and from there, insert ads anywhere in your blog you would like.
IntenseDebate Comments
Very cool little plugint hat enhances your user experience by leaps and bounds, allows for easier commenting, and in general, makes it easier and more fun to comment! That certianly can’t hurt. Try it out if you have or want a strong discussion community, or just as an enhancement to your blog.

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.
If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

GoDaddy is a superb domain registrar, however, their hosting servers are very overloaded.
Also, PHP is good to learn. It helps you build more dynamic pages that can have a much greater appeal and value to your visitors.
If you need reliable, affordable hosting, click the link in my sources We’d be glad to help you get started via Live Chat if you’re interested.
Best of luck with your website!

I’ve been transferring all my domains to GoDaddy for ease of managing them all in one place. Likewise, I’m transferring my hosting to Hostgator. You can learn more at the site listed in the source.
For security reasons, I would use an encrypted email address or an offsite contact form rather than just placing your email address on your site.
Additionally, for a new site – the fastest way to get it listed in the search engines is by creating a Sitemap.xml, and you can even notify search engines about it in your robots.txt file in addition to submitting it to them.

I recommend one of these:http://www.webhostingtable.com/
Powweb currently has the best offer.
Their standard price is $7.77/month ($93.24/year)
but they have the 50% sale right now.
Disk space: Unlimited
Bandwidth: Unlimited
A Free domain name
Unlimited domains and subdomains
Price: $3.88/month ($46.56/year)
Their hosting plan includes web builder, so you can create your site just by drag and drop (without any programming), or you could install Wordpress (easy, one click install from their control panel), choose a theme that you like, and start adding content.
Or since you know XHTML and CSS you can build the site yourself. As for security that’s your host’s job. They handle security for their servers.
