In a very funny video, Christina Hills illustrates the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org. They’re like twins..in fact, they’re like Tweedledum and Tweedledee from Alice in Wonderland! They seem alike, but up close, they have very important differences.
Blogs or sites hosted on sites you don’t own are not as credible as those hosted by wordpress.org or typepad.com. You can’t compare to renting vs. owning.
When you get “free” blogs from blogger.com (which I did for a few years) or wordpress.com, you have given up control of your site. When I was on blogger.com, my blog was shut down for a couple of days because the automated system thought I had too many links. Additionally, visitors to your site can click on a link on top of the page and go to the “next” blog…which could be anything.
Wordpress.com looks like a Wordpress.org blog, but with limited options. You can’t install plug-ins, which are easily added pieces of software that give your blog enormous functionality.
It’s all explained here, in a clear and entertaining way.
