new user here. got some questions if you dont mind :)
-
first of all, what exactly is wordpress? i thought it’s a free website? i mean why does it deal about posts all the time? so my home page will consists mainly of posts? i’m used to html notepad pure coding. right now we have a project on making a retail store using wordpress. but how can i make a page that shows all my products like mobile phones? because pages are static. and i was planning to categorize them according to mobile brands. but isn’t it that pages dont have categories? should i just use posts to sell my products? i’m really confused :((

There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software. More to the point is this. No blogger initiated advertising, retailing or reselling the work or products created or services provided by anyone other than yourself is allowed on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM
The advertising exceptions noted in support documentation are for high traffic blogs that qualify for and are accepted into the Ad Control program, soon to be replaced with the WordAds program, and for extremely high traffic blogs that qualify and are accepted into the paid VIP hosting program. The WordAds Program is for well established blogs with 20,000 page views monthly that apply for and are accepted into the program.
