    So what you're saying is that you're going to host the site on your home pc. If you don't have any experience that is a very bad idea. First it will take you ages to configure a server to run, then there's the security risk and obviously the bandwidth.

    Get yourself a Paypal account and buy hosting on Godaddy. It's simple to use and only costs $3.95 per month.

    Ok that won't be a problem.

    Just download WP, extract archives and upload it to you hosting account.

    You will need to create a Database for the installation.

    Run http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php and fill in the necessary information.

    You're done

    For a step by step tutorial read this.

    If you really want someone to do it for you, I'll do it free. It's easy enough. Just PM me your email address and show me the theme you want for me to use.

    If you don't choose me, remember, change your host account password afterwards.
