[AccessD] Blogging

With Wordpress, you can either create a new blog on the Wordpress site or download it and 
install it on your own web server.   

All you need to run it on any hosted website is  PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5.0+ support.   They 
are almost universal.

Since it uses MySQL for the BE, you can access the databse with phpMyAdmin which should 
come with any hosting package that offers PHP/MySQL.  

If you want to host it on your own server, You just need to install WAMP or XAMP and then 
Wordpress.

If you set it up on a hosting service, the only real potential censorship is the hosting 
organisation closing your  site down.  If you set it up on your own server, the only potential 
censorship is  your Connection Provider cutting you off completely.
