Creating a database?
I am not exactly sure where to post this question.
I have a blog, and am developing a 5-day e-course to gain subscribers. The problem is- it is a Google Blogger blog; I am absolutely sick of having to make significant edits to the code every time I want to do something simple, like create a landing page, change background color, or post more than 2 images and not have the coding go all screwy because of it.I am not much of a coder, so this is very time consuming.
So, the obvious answer is WordPress. Wordpress.com wants $99 before I get access to the source code- to add meta tags and whatnot (unless I am missing something); I am not paying anywhere near that. Wordpress.org claims an 'easy, 5-minute install', but requires I create a database from my web-server; something I not only have no clue how to do, and everyone I can find wants me to pay for their service.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
