Yup. Gotta love old software.

ROFLMBO I'm truly rolling on the floor and laughing my butt off girl. Your reply are just what I needed this morning. I'm going to celebrate with a coffee because tea just doesn't suit this event at all, at all. If I weren't going into the big city to spend money on body decoration [shopping for clothes] I might even be spurred on to create some blog content perhaps even comedic content. She who says sarcasm is soo very hard to write bows to your superior skills. :D

Please don't in anyway construe my twisted sense of humour as being directed at yourself.

It creates a wordpress.org based site for you but I am yet to discover a lot of things in it. It is supercool and free.

There's a pink sticky at the head of the forum dealing with this so please read this thread carefully as it will answer your questions http://wordpress.com/forums/topic.php?id=3700&replies=1

There's also a brief summary of the differences here in the FAQswordpress.com versus wordpress.org

In addition there are two threads explaining the css customization option available if you choose to stay at wordpress.com
http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/08/04/custom-css/
http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/08/17/try-custom-css/

The reason you can't upload your own theme from the wordpress.org theme viewer is because we are on a wordpress multiuser platform here at wordpress.com that runs on a different code.

The gist is that you have access to theme customization and plugins with .org.

I'm thinkin about making my own blog. But I don't really understand the difference between either.
