No trial…?

  • Hi, I’m a complete noob at wordpress.

    So is there no way to try out the software, and see if I’m even competent enough to manage wordpress without buying a domain, and paying for a month of web hosting?

    Or is wordpress.com virtually the same?

    Thanks, and sorry for the stupid question :/

  • you can if you install the necessary server programs on your own computer.

    If you’re using windows, try WAMP or easyPHP.
    If you’re using a mac, try MAMP.

    wordpress.com is nearly the same, but you can’t customize your theme much and you can’t use plugins.

    Hi,
    You can try both.

    1. Signup at wordpress.com and create a blog there and play around. (Its easy trust me.)

    2. Download the source, install it in your local machine or webserver and try it out.

    You may even consider sticking to wordpress.com because if it only a blog you are going to use wordpress for, wp.com gives you enough power and stability to host it there. You can even add your own domain.
