    The wordpress templates I've seen just looked very wordy, and I'm wanting something more image based, so didn't think it would be suitable.

    but we are not talking about them

    your sounding more and more like a commercial for them :confused: 90% of hosts offer installation of software like wordpress/cutenews/ smf

    the op has said they have bought hosting with one.com so !!!!!! about bluehost

    dinah ... any decent web designer can build you a wordpress theme, i have just done one for someone on this forum

    there are hundreds of tutorials on how to build a wordpress theme but you do need to know html / css to understand it
