WordPress.com lets you easily create your own blog and write about the things that interest you. It is a blogging community managed by makers of the open source WordPress software. WordPress.com blogs are free with the option of adding upgrades such as personalized domain names, custom CSS, video storage, and more. In comparison, a self-hosted WordPress.org blog does not have upgrades and must be installed on a web hosting account separately. See WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org to learn more about the differences.
What is a "blog"?
"Blog" is an ectended version of "weblog," which is a term used to explore web sites that maintain an ongoing history of information. A blog features diary-type commentary and links to articles on other Web sites, usually presented as a list of entries in reverse historical order. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.
you may focus on a particular topic blogs, such as web design, home staging, sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting links to all types of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author's daily life and thoughts.
Easy installation and upgrades
Installing WordPress and upgrading from previous versions and other software is a easy to drive.
WordPress Pages
A standard feature to WordPress is it's paging system. You can manage, edit and delete pages from the admin. Pages are able to be set in a hierarchy so that you can have a parent page and then sub pages to that parent page which is pretty useful for situations such as having an about us page and then having a location page, privacy policy page, TOS page etc.
For an idea of how powerful this is, the entire WordPress.org site could be run off WordPress alone.
Page Templates
WordPress allows you to create static web pages using page templates. It supports the use of multiple templates which enables you to style each page individually.
Permalinks
Permalinks allows you to create URL friendly versions of URL's generated by WordPress, you can have the page/post name as the URL instead of the ugly and SEO and user unfriendly standard way.
You can use /%category%/%postname%/ for the structure.(Recommended)
WordPress Themes
WordPress comes with a full theme system which makes designing everything from the simplest blog to the most complicated webzine a piece of cake, and you can even have multiple themes with totally different looks that you switch with a single click. Have a new design every day.
Easy Importing
We currently have importers for Movable Type, Textpattern, Greymatter, Blogger, and b2. Work on importers for Nucleus and pMachine are under way.
XML-RPC interface
WordPress currently supports an extended version of the Blogger API, MetaWeblog API, and finally the MovableType API. You can even use clients designed for other platforms like Zempt.
