Someone talk me through using wordpress software?
I need to use wordpress software and every article on it's selling me a tool. I've seen people claim this changed recently, though i can't find a source. How do you do it?

First thing, make sure you mean the self-hosted wordpress (the free software you install on your own hosting) and not the hosted wordpress service, which is more limited on the cheaper plans. Most hosts have a one-click installer.
After that: pick a lightweight theme, go to Settings > Permalinks and choose post name, install one SEO plugin, and keep plugins to a minimum. Most of the problems people have with wordpress come from 30 plugins fighting each other, not from wordpress itself.
