This post will surely sound ridiculous, as I have no clue what I am doing.

I am in the process of setting up another website/blog.  I have bought and registered my domain name.

I have a few (embarrassing) questions:

1)  Is there anyway to continue using the tumblr platform to build and maintain this other website/domain?

2)  If not, once I have the domain name (and i do) what do I do to set up and start posting on the site?!  (I realise the level of stupidity in this question)

3)  HELP!  If anybody can point me in the direction of someone to talk to who can a) design my website b) host it (what does hosting even mean?!) and c) enable me to post quickly and easily.

So yes.  This is my dilemma and I would be HUGELY thankful for any help you can provide.  I also live in Toronto, Canada.  Not sure if that makes a difference, but yeah. hahahaha.  I am very embarrassed by this post.

Help?!  Anybody?  Bueller?  Bueller?
