Want to create a blog site and need some help with the creation?

[Jaimee]

Hey, I am making a blog site and since I'm new to Wordpress, I was wondering if anyone can give me some basic steps. The site I want to create is pretty much about a topic, and people who love this topic can come to the site to check it out. Visitors have the ability to look at all the information but are unable to post unless they sign up. I want two levels of membership; one for basic members who are happy to comment on posts and have their say (maybe on their profile they can add "friends" or other members so they can chat to each other through a mail system). The other membership is an option I don't want available to the public. These people will be of my choosing and they will have the ability to post on my blog rather than just commenting, though I have to approve the post. Later on, I want the ability to sell products but that is not necessary at this point as I don't want to have too much on my plate. What plugin would be most suitable for registering on my site (first name, last name, DOB, email and gender is the info I want for the sign up process) and only having one sign up level available to people until I move them up a level?
I have already got my site up and running (as in the name, website and the wordpress site) but I really have no clue when It comes to plugins. What plugins do you recommend I use to make this a simple membership blog site? Please only reply if you are trying to help. Don't give me a link to a complicated site where I have no clue what they are trying to say. I am VERY new to this stuff so reply accordingly please. And no stupid replies. Thanks so much for your help!!
