    thanks to everyone for helping me work through this.

    If anyone else is looking for answers regarding this matter, the answers above are very helpful and I also found a very simplified and good analogy of comparing the decision-making on self-hosted versus WordPress.com.

    http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-org-vs-wordpress-com/

    For myself, I just don’t know how difficult self-hosting would be so WordPress.com looks attractive. For $99 a year I can get no ads, one custom domain name and moderate bandwidth. Also I get the great functionality of the WordPress software without the headache of updating the software when a new version comes out. The themes on WordPress.com look great (there are 225 of them, I know I could find one that works and modify it slightly).

    I feel like most people who are commenting on this online (who are probably developers or designers) strongly lean towards self-hosting because of the amount of control.

    In the end it’s a personal decision and it’s great to have options. Thanks again.

    Thanks Tom. Oh, that doesn’t sound so ideal then?

    If WordPress.com is not a direct way to host and integrate with WordPress.org, I can’t exactly understand what’s the point.

    Appreciate the time you took to answer my question.
