Noob has a newb question?

.
First, I have to admit that I'm the biggest noob here. I have no tech background, so having an account with DH and trying to one-click wordpress is a monumental thing ...

My question:

I'm sort of stuck (well ... paralyzed with fear) about choosing whether to go the easy or advanced mode route, when it comes time to uploading the wordpress software.

Projecting down the future, I would like to have advertisements, and freedom over the skin, including any relevant interactive features (polls, etc).

Will I be able to go back into the programming (more like hiring a developer) and make changes if I go with the easy mode first, or is it irreversable?

I pre-apologize for these noob questions. I'll learn as I go along and do my part to research.

I think the main thing is that even if you go with easy mode now, you can export all the content and import it into an "advanced" installation.

Given that, I don't see a downside to going with easy mode for now.

Lens; that sounds like a plan.

Thanks for the feedback!
