First I want to clear up the confusion between WordPress, and WordPress.org. WordPress is WordPress right? Not really. There are very important differences between them. Firstly there is WordPress – the blogging software platform. Secondly there is WordPress.org – the organization that provides you with free downloadable installations of the WordPress software. Finally there’s – the commercial entity that provides you with the WordPress software as a service which is ready to use. Phew! You can download and install a free version of WordPress from WordPress.org yourself. Alternatively you can install it easily through some hosting providers like [url]Qservers[/url] This means that you and your hosting provider are responsible for your WordPress installation. It also means that you need to do backups, security updates and any upgrades that are necessary yourself The other option is where you use the WordPress blogging software hosted on servers. All backups, security updates and upgrades are handled for you by . However, there are a number of constraints which I outline below. 1. You Can’t Alter Page Structure While you can change HTML in the body of your page, you have no access to the HTML of the <head> and <footer> sections of your page. You also have no access to the PHP files you would normally have access to on a self-hosted WordPress.org installation. What this also means is that you can’t add CSS or JavaScript links or blocks to your webpage as you normally would. 2. Limited Themes & Plug-Ins Plugins are one of the many features that makes WordPress a pleasure to use. How about if you wanted to install some plugins? You can’t do it . It’s as simple as that. With a self-hosted WordPress.org site, you can install as many themes as you like and from any source such as Theme Forest . With you are constrained to the themes they allow. There are 160 themes at the moment. Some are free and others are premium themes (cost money). With WordPress.org, the number of available themes is endless. 3. It Costs To Add Style You’ve finally settled on a theme and now you want to change a few little things. On you need to purchase a Custom Design Upgrade to use customized CSS on your blog. Currently it sells for $30 per blog per year. It could get quite pricey depending on the number of blogs you want to customize. 4. The Content and Copyright Issue Actually, there is no issue about who “owns” the content on a site. Their TOS states clearly that they have royalty-free access to your data to promote your blog: “By submitting Content to Automattic for inclusion on your Website, you grant Automattic a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your blog. If you delete Content, Automattic will use reasonable efforts to remove it from the Website, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable.” Think of changing your site/blog from to WordPress.org?
