WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
WordPress.com is a hosting platform that makes it easy for anyone to publish online. You don’t have to download software, pay for hosting, or manage a web server. WordPress.com has hundreds of themes, and includes the functionality of many plugins, but you can’t upload your own plugins or themes.
WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database.

I am a techno-idiot and have managed to set up 4 site/blogs, trained a group to take over one of them and actively administrate the remaining 3. And the reason I can is that it is so intuitive and so well-supported by folks like yourself. Thanks for being there!— Anita S.
