DamnitImstillconfused! What (exactly) *IS* "wordpress"???
I need some clarification (once and for all) + sorry if these q's seem too dumb-dumb...
Ok -- there's wp that is similar to blogger -- a free, web-based way to have a blog -- all "hosted" for free. That I fully understand.
Here's where the confusion sets in...
I see people "using" wp to make sites that are not blogs at all. Using plug-ins, etc.
I see them using their (paid) hosting companies to host these wp-generated sites (yes?) I see hosting companies having something called 'fantasico' to enable these users to "install" wp easily -- and edit their sites, etc. ---- ALL "USING" wp (???)
When you use fantastico to "install" wp, WHERE are you "installing" it *TO*? -- And *WHAT* (exactly) are you "installing"??
Ok -- so, if it's not a blog, and it's not hosted for free (as a wp blog is), and you're not using wp to edit it -- then *WHY* (and how) are you "USING" wp at all?
How is that different than just building a 'regular' site in the regular way?
So, I guess here are my questions...
1) What (exactly) *IS* wp (when used in a non-free-blog way)?
2) HOW are you (said to be) "using" wp when you "use" wp to build a 'regular' site?
3) What is a 'static' site -- and how does it differ from a 'non-static' site?
4) I saw a sales page that said there are TWO types of wp sites, and using wp in the wrong way for the wrong type of site will get you "BANNED!" What does THAT mean??
5) What are the benefits of "using" wp to build a site -- and what are the potential disadvantages?
6) If you are (indeed) hosting your 'regular' style wp-generated sites using a private (paid) hosting co -- and NOT using the quasi-hosting that the free-wp-blogs use, then are you in danger of getting the plug pulled by wp (tos?) if you "use" wp for making a commercial site?
As you can see, I am PLENTY confused on this issue. Just another iming area I can't seem to get my head around (the overall concept).
Please advise!!
Thanks!!
