Hey Bob! Thanks for this post! I sure hope you will be able to attend at least the Davao leg of WordCamp. After all, you’re one of the earliest users of WordPress out here.

Thank You, Bob for the clarification. I learn new things in this magazine almost every day. This is one reason, why I am an avid reader of this site. Cheers!

Hi David – WordPress.com is a hosted service from WordPress. WordPress.org is from the same company, software that you host yourself. Blogger, like WordPress.com is a hosted service. Most serious bloggers host their own blogs, and don’t use a hosted service. Why? Because, if you put up a site on Blogger, for example… Google owns the content that you put there! You don’t own it anymore! I prefer to retain ownership of the things that I write.

Bob, Are there two word press, one is wordpress.com, the other is wordpress.org ? Or are they under one management? Here in US, Googles Inc, blogspot.com is the popular one.

Hi Dave – I will do that. Blogie is really a nice guy, and if you guys somehow hit it off in the wrong way, I am sure it was unintentional on both of your parts, because I know both of you well. Blogie has been a friend for about 15 years now, and he has always done right by me! I’ll tell him, next time I see him that you are available.

I’d certainly like to attend. Blogie and I got on the wronmg sid eof each other, I think, last year over a silly peripheral issue. I think we are now on good terms, I hope. be sure to let him know I’m certainly available to help.
