Because of the similarity in names, beginners often start with WordPress.com thinking they are getting the powerful WordPress.org software. After seeing the limitations, users often end up switching from WordPress.com to WordPress.org to have more features and control over their website.

Joomla

Hey Guys, I disagree with your summary of Joomla….I have been working with Joomla from the beginning, it is extremely flexible, there are many free extensions available and as long as you work with developers/extensions from the JED (Joomla Extension Directory) the support is normally pretty good. Of course, there are some developers that do not respond, but I have found the same with WP. The possibilities with Joomla are far less restricted and it is much more easily customised if you are looking to personalise your site.

Weebly

Hello, Shalom: I want to cancel my subscription with Weebly. It is to difficult even at the start to use the system for blogging. I am a university student and our teacher wanted us to use Weebly in the free ad. Help. Could you give me a phone number or address were I can cancel. Today at 1:150PM on 11/7/2018 I signed up. Thank you, Gary.
