(Also moving house this week.)<br /><br />WordPress.com is a blogging platform, free for *.wordpress.com (ad supported, though), and paid for your own domain (which may also have ads, I believe). It has a large though limited number of available themes and plugins.<br /><br />WordPress.org is a site where you can download the code for a blog and put it on your own webhost. This gives you access to a wider number of themes and plugins, and guarantees no ads you don't want. But it would require paying for a webhost. And, if payment stopped at some future point, the site would go down.<br /><br />I dunno.<br /><br />TRiG.TRiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12252536592916793907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8892545645190421359.post-53034300005201409782012-11-06T16:38:52.282-06:002012-11-06T16:38:52.282-06:00I actively encourage people not to count on me so ...I actively encourage people not to count on me so if everyone else is in favor of going over this Saturday then go over this Saturday.<br /><br />I have projects meant to be done years ago that are still in the "Well I made a prototype of one component out of materials that can't hold the weight as a proof concept, and (at least a year later) a second prototype of the same component out of materials that can work in the long run as a next step, but I need to make two of that component plus several other components that I don't even have final designs for," phase. (And don't even get me started on the image interpolation project.)<br /><br />So while I might like more time to try to create a fourth option, I wouldn't base decisions on that and everyone else seems to be in favor of "move forward now".
