I know you can download the wordpress application to your server, but does it work with .mac? If you have done this please tell me how!

I don't think so, Wordpress requires PHP and MySqL to post comments and .Mac doesn't support push scripts yet. There's probably a 3rd party app or something that could be a work-around however.

Oh and here is the Apple discussion page where I got some of my info.

Yes, you have to be able to connect to a SQL database with Wordpress. There is no way to do that with a .Mac account.
On the bright side, web hosting that does have PHP,MYSQL is really cheap these days. Wordpress is a great blog App. especially since 2.0 came out. I use it for my blog.
