WordPress.com v WordPress.org
-
What is the difference between what is available from WordPress.com and WordPress.org? Is it simply that the first is web-based and the later is a download version of the same? Just curious as I am new to wordpress. Thank you for your time.

This covers the basic differences: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ .
There is also of course the monetary differences. Self-hosting a wordpress install will cost you typically between $10 and $25 per month, all things considered. There are also more responsibilities. You will have to do all installations, all upgrades, all backups and all troubleshooting. If something goes wrong, you have to figure it out and fix it, or hire someone to fix it if you do not have those skills.

Thank you for this info. Very informative. I do have experience with desktop site builders but much prefer web-based. It makes things more simple and streamlined.

Theme tinkering is near-impossible at WP.com. With the Custom design upgrade, you can edit CSS and that’s it.
