    Default Word press, hosting, and help me I'm about to go insane

    Please don't stone me if I'm asking things that have been asked before. I read a BUNCH of threads on Wordpress and site hosting/creation and I still have a few questions.

    Honestly, I get a headache and I start freaking out every time I sit down to try and tackle my website. So let me give you some background and ask questions as I go.

    I have a blog on wordpress.com

    I pay for my domain name, site mapping, and private registration through them (a total of $26 a year)

    My first question is would it be better to do my own hosting and build a site through wordpress.org instead?

    I'm wanting to do more than a blog but I don't really need a full blown members site. It's more of a fan site with links and all that fun stuff.

    I am so overwhelmed trying to figure out how to customize my site on wordpress.com and I'm feeling like if I can't handle the basic templates on wordpress.com I'll never be able to handle working with things like dreamweaver and such that seems to be required for building a solid site with wordpress.org

    I guess I'm more or less venting here about the struggles I'm having building a site that looks the way I want it to. Right now I just have the blog portion up but I want to make it a little more interactive (mailing list, pictures, and little video clips (nothing really sexual more of a vlog type thing), rotating banners with contest announcements and that sort of thing)

    Does anyone know of any good free templates for wordpress.com that can handle some of those features?

    I'm honestly not even sure what all I need to be asking. I've built sites on Weebly before and they make it so easy but Weebly doesn't like adult content so I can't really use them to talk about porn lol.

    Anyway I'm sorry this post is a jumbled horrible mess but I'm just frazzled over trying to build a nice little home on the internet for myself lol

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    ModelCentro all the way, baby. Their templates and software make everything easy and fast. And it all just works. I ADORE them and they deserve all the kudos and gushing. If they were a human being, I would run and hump them with great vigour just to show how mach i appreciate everything about what they have provided!

    I thought modelCentro was more about membership sites not basic fan sites?

    I see the membership part as an added bonus. You have control over how much to charge for the subscriptions. And you can make your site like a fun fansite. Their support is awesome and they will help you customize your site to just the way you like. I cannot say enough good about them. It is well worth the 25% i give them for the support, technology and ease. To set up a site like this would cost thousands on my own!

    I used to work for a company who offered Managed Wordpress plans (and other hosting plans as well). Wordpress.com and wordpress.org are completely different. The .com website is more for newbies and people who aren't sure where they want to register their domain or where to buy their main hosting plan. *TIP- Wordpress is actually an application you use to help you build a blog/website*

    The .org website is where you can download the wordpress application yourself and upload it to where ever you have your hosting plan. Be that HostGator, GoDaddy. Wordpress.com has hosting plans you can buy but obviously they already have wordpress pre-installed.

    If you plan on making a basic informative website just to show your customers who you are and plan on selling vids or anything else and keep this cheap and simple - look into a simple content management systems (Wordpress is a content management system). I have only played around with GoDaddys Website Builder and it was SUPER simple in my opinion. Similar to wordpress where you pick from themes, but its a little easier to work with. Then when you want to start selling things you can create a shop using something like shopify for free, link it to your main website.

    That way, all you really need to pay for is a domain and the website builder (if you choose to go with the GoDaddy one). I can tell you from when I took a wordpress class, wordpress.com is one of the more expensive places to go to build a website. Especially if it's just something simple.

    PM me if you want more help on all this. I have a good 2 years of website/computer support under my belt so I'm used to the worst questions! would love to help any way I could

    Here's a silly website a friend of mine built when he was going through training for GoDaddy and took him 30-45 minutes.

    Um hire a web developer for $5/hr tell them what you want and voila!

    I have a couple websites non work related and while it can be fun going the DIY route if you get stuck trying to figure something out just pay a small fee to someone who can help you fast. Don't waste hours on what could have taken someone else 10 min to do.

    Modelcentro may be cool but check their TOS I bet they own any content you put up. Going the Wordpress route and getting your own web hosting ensures you own your content. Even though it may take longer to put together.

    DON'T HIRE for $5 hour on ODesk or anywhere as such. I have worked with companies that hire for that and it ends up being so expensive because they are bad at coding. I'm a WordPress designer (5 years) and I am willing to help a few camgirls out on a design. Shoot me a PM.

    Not all of them are bad. The ones I hired were helpful and did what I asked them. I only worked with top rated ones who spoke english well and had references.

    Definitely interview a few first before hiring.

    They generally work in India or Phillipines so they charge less

    Hi miss.a.p1600, actually models retain complete ownership over their content and stage names. Under no circumstances will ModelCentro claim any rights to any materials they have uploaded to the system.

    I've heard a lot of great things from people who use Genesis! I plan on using that theme in the near future on another project!

    @Staples, if you want easy set up I'd say go with modelcentro. If you don't mind taking the time to learn you could easily go with your own set up and download wordpress. Ultimately, it depends on what your short and long term goals are with your fan site.

    I highly suggest modelcentro if you are feeling lost. Self hosting and creating your own page takes a lot of a time commitment.

    Also I don't think that wordpress.com is adult friendly because they're hosting it. For Wordpress.org you can do whatever you want as long as your host is adult friendly because you're just using their software pretty much. I also highly recommend ModelCentro or getting help from one of the many WordPress savvy bb's here (myself included). Feel free to PM me if you have questions
