How do I start a Blog?

Question

Hi I just want to find out how to make a blog in south africa.

My friend and I want to start our own gaming & related blog on the internet but I have read that we need a domain and Hosting to do this.

Can Afrihost help us with this and maybe just give us some direction on how to set up a blog? We want to use Word Press on our domain but not sure how it all works.
