For your website to be on the web, it needs to be hosted and referenced through a domain name. Do you have a hosting service or a domain name?

I don't have those at the moment, but can get them. Is it okay to buy a domain from GoDaddy? And I'll try to find a good host, maybe Biz.nf? I don't need any kind of elaborate hosting, as I don't...

These are the recommended hosts - http://wordpress.org/hosting/ I'd strongly advise against using any "cheaper" options - you'll likely have problems. Like most things, you "get what you pay for." You...

So I know some of you will be mad, but I signed up at Biz.nf. My blog just isn't that big of a thing anyways, and I'm not going to spend $60-$160+ a year just for this. So I now need to link up my...

You need to use an FTP client on your computer- like FileZilla is a good one.

I have FileZilla. Now to connect, I need the Host, Username, Password, and Port. I have all of these except for Port. How would I know this? Also, a bit confused on what the FTP path should be set to...

You have to get the FTP access info from your host - port may not be necessary. On your end, you don't have to do anything - it's connected already.

Are there any risks to doing auto update WordPress? I mean when you have no plugins, and complex themes active? I'm always afraid to update as I'm not sure if my content would be at risk?

NEVERMIND! Just as I thought I was going crazy, I got it to work! Just changed the host name/login info in the wp-config.php file to the one from my new host, then used FileZilla to put all the files...

Your content won't be at any risk. The content, menu structure, tags, categories, etc are all stored in the database so when the files are updated they don't touch the database. There are some times...
