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 started my blog in Jan 2009, in March 2012, a publisher approached me for writing a book on one of the subjects that I have been blogging. Never dreamed of publishing a book and it is pretty cool to enter my name on Amazon.com and here is my book. Never underestimate the power of blogging. Fun is just getting started.— Joe K.
