WordCamp Atlanta 2013: The difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org
The document compares and contrasts WordPress.com (.com) and WordPress.org (.org). WordPress.com provides a simpler, easier experience with limited customization options and ads, while WordPress.org allows full customization with thousands of themes and plugins but requires self-hosting and technical skills. It also discusses moving a site from .com to .org, factors in selecting a hosting provider, and encourages attendees to ask questions.
