WordPress.com Dowload-Is it possible?
-
Hi Everyone!
I know, I heard a MILLION TIMES, you don’t need to download WordPress. But I was thinking, even though you don’t NEED TO, CAN YOU? If it’s possible to download WordPress.COM, please please PLEASE TELL ME!
Thanks a lot! :D

Meaning no it’s not possible, not no we won’t tell you. I think your cute avatar froze my brain for a moment. :)

WordPress.COM runs on a highly modified version of the wordpress multi-user software and the changes they make to the software I’m sure they would not divulge.
You can download the wordpress MU package from http://mu.wordpress.org/ but you would have to then have a web server or hire a web host, and if you plan on doing a multi-user thing like here at wordpress, then you are probably going to end up with some hefty monthy bills for space and bandwidth. I can’t even imagine what wordpress pays per month, but it is I’m sure staggering.

Technically speaking WordPress.com isn’t too much different from WordPress MU now. We just have a whole bunch of plugins.

Everyone has those plugins. Upgrades, global tags, polls, widgets, most of the custom stuff you see on WordPress.com is just a WordPress plugin.

I deal with bloggers who do have adsense on their free hosted blogspot blogs every day on the BC forum. Their most typical post is a whine about why they aren’t making either any income or enough income from adsense. I check out the blogs and find that they do not know basic SEO, how to structure a reader and search engine freindly blog, how to structure blog posts, they cannot or do not write original content, they have a problematic theme with sidebars covered in “tat”, the validator results are hundreds of mark up errors on their front page alone, yada, yada, yada. For months I patiently explained over and over again to each individual what they needed to correct but many resisted making any changes at all. Finally I just published a post and now I give them the link when they ask why they aren’t making any money.

Then tweet this one too. It’s the next step after they get their stuff together, and actually have a blog worth monetizing that has an established organic traffic flow of 1,000 – 1,500 hits every day.

animalluver, you can download a good portion of WordPress.com. WordPress MU is the version of WordPress that lets you host many blogs at once, and it’s what powers WordPress.com:
And all the themes available on WordPress.com can be downloaded here:

Keep in mind that it needs significant skill, time and resources to successfully install and manage. It’s not nearly as simple as regular WordPress.
