  No technical background but need assistance downloading and accessing WordPress on MacBook. How to articles online are very confusing. Is there an easier step by step ?

  Hi there!

  To clear up any further confusion, there is WordPress.com and WordPress.org and they are two different entities.

  We, WordPress.com, are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

  You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this support page:

  That said, you can use WordPress.com from any browser directly, no need to download anything.
