I'm beginning a blog on Wordpress and am reluctant to download the software so I'm just doing it online. But some necessary features seem missing from the online version. I cannot find out, for example, how to delete a category I have created, although in the instructions for those using the downloaded software it is mentioned.

My questions are:
Can anyone direct me to a summary of the differences between these two ways of using Wordpress? What are the limitations I am accepting by not downloading their software? What does the software cost? (I've searched their site, & googled, no luck)

Any Mac users care to comment on the intricacies and potential problems of installing Wordpress? (I use OS 10.4.11) I am already having to use Firefox rather than SAfari to utilize WP's online editor, and then run some posts through an offline blogging app to get photos aligned and sized as I want them, and get line breaks between paragraphs.

Is it possible to delete a category once created?

Thanks very much.

Wordpress.org is open source blogging software that is free to download. You will need blog hosting ( Small monthly fee) as you need to install it on a web server. With your own wordpress hosting you can install plugins and themes, etc.


Wordpress.com provides limited free hosting. Wordpress.com does not allow you to upload plugins or themes. There are only a few themes to choose from.

You can delete a catagory. Dashboard > Manage > Categories > Delete.
