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.
