  I wonder if kids ages 10-14 can use this software.

  Thank you for your answer. I was hoping to use wordpress.com to teach webdesign to 5th-9th graders and I guess that won’t work. I’m not sure how to set up a WAMP/wordpress.org installation but that might be another option. I’ll look into that.

  You’re welcome. I’m not sure about their age limitation, but you might want to look at Edublogs.

  WOW! That’s exactly what I needed! It doesn’t seem to have any age restrictions, I can create a “class” set of sites and it’s WordPress!!! It’s even better than teaching with WordPress.com. Thank you so much justjennifer!!! That is perfect!!!
