Would you please explain more fully about this? it's not for a commercial endeavor. It has the potential to make a little money I think, but that's not it's primary purpose.

One of the reasons I've just about decided to start with Wordpress.com is that if I decide later I want the full WordPress.org experience, I figure it might be easier to convert.

It's not the initial setting up with the host, etc., I'm worried about, it's the subsequent fiddling around with bells and whistles I don't have the technical skills for. I've got other "semi-blogs"--livejournal, and IAMBME, and I'm not good and adding, rearranging, etc.

I can't even seem to understand basic things about digital pics, and it's driving me crazy!
