How do I know if I’m using WordPress.com or WordPress.org? I have ZERO clue how any of this works. I was getting ready to throw my computer out of the window just trying to figure out where to make a post on this thing!! I have a Bluehost account. My website is on there and I’m using some form of WordPress to develop the site. Not sure if it’s .com or .org. How do I know which one I’m using? Thank you!!

First, to clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-vs-wordpress-com/

If you’re hosted on Bluehost, then it’s a WordPress.org site. Once you have installed WordPress, you can get started by following the steps at https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/first-steps-with-wordpress-block-editor/
