WORDPRESS.COM VERSUS

Choosing the Right WordPress
for You
Books like this one are about how : how to do all the many things you
might want to accomplish with a new tool. They're called how-to topics
for a reason.
Because this topic is an In Depth book, though, we also include a fair
amount of the why : why you might want to take on the extra work to
add a capability to your blog, for instance, or why you might want to
pay for an upgrade (for WordPress.com users) or an extra-cost theme or
plug-in (for WordPress.org users).
It's easy to choose WordPress as your blogging platform. It's the most
widely used, most capable, best-supported blogging platform out there.
Once you choose WordPress, though, you face a potentially difficult
decision: which WordPress? WordPress.com, the completely free, easy-
to-use version? Or WordPress.org, which requires you to pay for hosting
and requires you to do more, but is much more powerful?
Confusing the picture further, upgrades available for WordPress.com
bridge much (not all) of the gap between it and WordPress.org. So it's
not a black-and-white decision; there are shades of gray in the middle.
