  I’m looking to build a site where I can put items on for sale (ecommerce?)
  I thought it could be done through upgrading the wordpress.com to the premium level. But after some extensive reading looks like I was mistaken by the 2 names wordpress.com and wordpress.org
  Can anyone verify this? and if so where do I go from here?
  Want to build a site with online store capabilities….
  Thanks in advance

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  You will need the self-hosted version of WordPress, called WordPress.org, yes.

  First, you’ll need to get a hosting plan with a provider like Pressable or Bluehost:

  Home

  Then you install WordPress there, along with an ecommerce plugin like WooCommerce.

  Please let me know if you have any more questions about this.

  Excellent :)

  For self-hosted sites the best place to get help is the WordPress.org forums, but if you run into trouble with anything specific feel free to let me know and I can at least help point you in the right direction.
