Frequently asked questions

What topics do people write about on WordPress.com?
All of them! Check out our tags to get a glimpse (other languages: Spanish, Indonesian, French, German, etc).

How does WordPress compare to other publishing platforms?
It’s a somewhat subjective call, but we like this Google Trends chart comparing the leading blogging platforms.

Will WordPress continue to grow?
Blogging is growing both in the US and especially internationally. Tens of thousands of new WordPress blogs are created every day – by regular bloggers, companies, large media publishers, and many others. In addition, we are seeing a trend that’s potentially even bigger than blogging: Publishers are starting to use WordPress as a platform to create all kinds of sites beyond blogs – large and small company sites, online magazines, social networks, travel sites, scrapbooking sites, contact managers, startups, multimedia archives, video sites, sports sites.

What’s the difference between WordPress.org and WordPress.com?
WordPress.com is a service that hosts WordPress blogs. WordPress.org is a community where people work on the open source WordPress software. It’s also where that software can be downloaded to be run on your own web server (and about 28,000 people download it every day!) Still confused? You might want to read this.

Do you have more public stats?
Why yes. Here’s info on embeds (posts that contain Flickr, YouTube, Photobucket and Google Video) and some miscellaneous stats (support requests, theme switches, new avatars).
