The site I have in mind would have an educational side (blog) and then a business side with samples of my written work.

This is from the wordpress.org website:
"About WordPress.org On this site you can download and install a software script called WordPress. To do this you need a web host who meets the minimum requirements and a little time. WordPress is completely customizable and can be used for almost anything. There is also a service called WordPress.com which lets you get started with a new and free WordPress-based blog in seconds, but varies in several ways and is less flexible than the WordPress you download and install yourself."
So you would need the wordpress.org CMS with an 'examplewebsite.edu' domain name.
Hope this makes sense.
