With WordPress you can easily create and maintain a blog or a website.
WordPress.com vs WordPress.org
There are 2 versions of WordPress, WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
WordPress.com is very easy to start with. Just go to WordPress.com, sign up and start blogging. The basic version is free, but it will show adds to your visitors. You have to pay to remove the adds and to use your own domain name.
WordPress.org is the selfhosted version. This means you have to download the software and install it on your own web hosting / server. This might be a little bit more work but you’ll also have much more possibilities: there are a lot more plugins available and you can choose or create your own themes. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use the selfhosted version of WordPress (= WordPress.org).
