WordPress Confounds Me
-
For work, I maintain a wordpress.com website (http://atlhomemedical.com/). And with this page I can add plugins (like slideshows) and look into the php code through the theme editor. And I have made a few modifications to suite the wills of the business owners.
How can I get this level of versatility with my own wordpress.com blog-site? Is the other company website I maintain actually a wordpress.org site? I don’t have the wordpress.org software on my pc. I took over this project last spring, a few months after the tech-man failed to make wordpress work. If it is a dot-org platform is there a way to tell. I am assuming now that one purchases their domain name that one can maintain it while utilizing the dot-org hosting or whatever it is called.
Can anyone shed light upon my confusion?

We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org.
WordPress.com is just a blogging service, where as WordPress.org is blogging software that you run on a hosting provider.
At the bottom of your blog’s Dashboard, there is a “Thank you for creating with WordPress” link. Depending on the type of blog you have, “WordPress” will link to either WordPress.com or WordPress.org.
In this case, atlhomemedical.com is a WordPress.org blog.
