• Lessons Learned Too Late: Reflecting on University Regrets

  You may use Wix, Webflow, WordPress, etc, to build your website and that's totally valid because they allow you to put it together much faster. And if you don't know what style to go for, they offer different templates that you can use. I'd suggest you build it from scratch using libraries like Bootstrap because it is much cheaper and also allows you to explore different technologies. The sky is the limit when it... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• My wordpress.com site doesn't belong to an account and has no CONFIG file???

  Looks like you are definitely hosting with wordpress.com (I just wanted to confirm that), so your only avenue for support is wordpress.com /support. No-one here can help - wordpress.com is a proprietary hosting platform - it is different to normal Wordpress. Source: 5 months ago

• HELP me please! I think I messed up.

  I respect that, wordpress.com is a rather good choice for this. Source: 5 months ago

• HELP me please! I think I messed up.

  A little research informed me of a difference in the wordpress.com and .org. which I guess I got wrong. Source: 5 months ago

• Developing a local site for Wordpress.com

  Pretty sure that either a business or commerce plan is required on wordpress.com to upload your own theme. Source: 5 months ago

• question relating to hosting

  I am on wordpress (commerce plan ) £55pm. wordpress.com is what I am using, however I have heard of wordpress.org also which requires more technical knolwedge which I am willing to invest in over the next 12 months. Source: 5 months ago

• question relating to hosting

  Are you hosting on wordpress.com? You can just put wordpress on any host for free. Hostinger has 3.99 a month deal going on right now that can host up to 100 sites includes all kinds of security and cdn. Source: 5 months ago

• Change nameservers from Wordpress.com to siteground, domain still pointing to old Wordpress.com website

  You know what's weird? I just got the site to load with the new host and then I had to restart my computer, and now it's back to trying to redirect to the old wordpress.com site. I cleared browser cache, I used Google's Public DNS flush with the A record, DNAME, CNAME, and PTR. Source: 5 months ago

• So if I publish a post and my website is still in the works, set to “Coming Soon,” the post won’t be visible public anywhere right?

  I’m not using any plugins and I’m only using the free wordpress.com plan. I’ll certainly do a check with just publishing one post and making sure the website still says “coming soon” if someone tries to look it up. I’m very new to Wordpress and websites in general, honestly this isn’t really my thing but I’m trying to learn, so thanks for the advice! Source: 5 months ago

• Change nameservers from Wordpress.com to siteground, domain still pointing to old Wordpress.com website

  My domain is registered on GoDaddy and the nameservers were of course wordpress.com. I've just changed the nameservers to sitegrounds, and now when I visit my domain, it redirects me to my old wordpress.com website with the auto-generated wordpress URL they give you when you create the site.

• Is self hosting cheaper than WP's personal($4/month) plan?

  iWebFusion's Starter shared hosting plan would cost you $56.86/year, and I'm 99% sure it renews at that same price. You would not have the limitations wordpress.com puts on their customers, and iWebFusion has a great reputation for support. Source: 5 months ago

  I think now is a really good time to understand the differences between wordpress.com and WordPress the CMS. Source: 5 months ago

• How does WP work???

  I've used Bluehost for a loonggg ass time, so I just switched over to KnownHost. While I'm excited to be trying a new hosting service, the learning curve is intense xD On Bluehost I would just pay for my domain, pay for my hosting, and be prompted to log into my admin page. I used wordpress.com forever ago before switching to .org and figured that out easily, but it wasn't until having to do all of this leg work... Source: 5 months ago

• How does WP work???

  Pretty much. Wordpress is software that you install on a web server. Once it's installed and you run through the short setup process, you then log into the admin area by going to [your-domain-name.com]/wp-admin/ - there you can create pages and posts, etc. But yes, your first set is buying a domain and getting hosting. Avoid godaddy, hostinger, bluehost and wordpress.com. Source: 5 months ago

• wordpress or blogger for an art blog/page?

  That is always my fear. Plus with WordPress you can always find a new host if needed but wordpress.com has a free blog so you can start without having to buy anything. Source: 5 months ago

• Good and short introduction for a brief overview for creating a blog?

  I wrote a blog with wordpress.com in the early 2010+++. Source: 5 months ago

• wordpress or blogger for an art blog/page?

  I wouldn't use Blogger TBH, it's owned by Google and they haven't done anything with it in years and you never know when they might kill it. I have had good luck setting people up with WordPress on wordpress.com since it's an easier setup and they have support you ask questions. They have some stuff for learning WP here too: https://wordpress.com/learn/. Source: 5 months ago

• What's the best way to build a site for a client using Wordpress?

  Should I get them to signup with a hosting service such as bluehost.com and get them to give me permissions to edit and make changes to the site, or should I get them to sign up with wordpress.com (not .org) and do the same thing, or, should I set up my own account with hostzinger.com or bluehost.com and manage the domain and hosting for them?
