It's wicked easy. When you install the latest version of WordPress, just click the Tools > Import > LiveJournal and supply your username and password. It will take it a few tries since you have a lot of data (Tina's took about 7 imports), but it does everything automatically. Posts, tags, comments (with threading) and all that jazz. The only thing that's noticeably missing is icons (both for posts and for comments).
I recommend you go with a web host that has some version of WordPress pre-installed so you can just click the "Upgrade" link from the admin section to get the latest version. If you don't it's not THAT crazy to install it on your own, just takes a little bit longer.
I've heard http://www.bluehost.com/ is good and I can give you hosting for $3/month (at cost) if you want it.
