I’m thinking of starting a site as a blog just for fun. I may use xhtml from scratch or go with wordpress. If I go with wordpress, how many databases should I need at my disposal? I really know nothing about SQL so I would just let wordpress do whatever it wants by default. I’ve been testing it on my local machine and monitoring what it creates with phpMyadmin and so far its usage is minimal but I just don’t know how it will behave over time.

I ask only because some hosts offer 2 SQL databases, some offer 50. I’m thinking of using Inmotion or ICDSoft btw. Thank you!
