Wordpress.com vs.Wordpress.org

Wordpress.com vs. Wordpress.org

Wordpress is a website you can use to make your own websites. This method is supposed to be easier than creating an entire website on your own using something like dreamweaver. However, there are some major difference between Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org. 


The biggest difference is that in Wordpress.org you run your own site. This is also where you will find the free downloadable Wordpress software. This option does allow the most flexibility with the customization of your site. Sadly, Wordpress.org is more expensive since you are the one hosting and managing your site. These costs start out at around $3-$10 monthly, but as your site gets more traffic the hosting fee will increase.


Wordpress.com takes care of all the hosting for you! This site is easy to setup and , most importantly, free! However, they do offer premium upgrades that do cost money. The business package, which is the most expensive, is $24.92 per month. The cheap price does come with setbacks though, it allows less flexibility with theme and your domain.

Redesigned Portfolio

Wow. I am so happy with my portfolio. I think that is sleek and really shows my personality, and my aesthetic as a designer.  am really proud of how much I have learned in web design this semester. I know I am a bit off track, but I feel accomplished. My portfolio is not done by any means. I have a few things left on my to do list. I would like to like my O.P.E.N website to my portfolio along with my TV25 website. I also completely forgot to include my manny's Marbles site, which I think could add a lot to my site. I also need to delete/add links to the social media buttons after the contact page. I would say that I am very close to the finish line though. Overall things that I struggled with in this project is the header picture, the colors, and the portfolio photos. The header image took a combination of all of the adobe programs, and some assistance from Ava's photography skills. I needed an image that had a white background. So I set out into the hallway to take som...
