I recently came to know that wordpress.com and wordpress.org are two different platforms for publishing. But despite browsing on various links I am not able to fully understand the actual difference between both in terms of blogging. I am a hobbyist blogger and my requirement is just to increase outreach and readability and not in customizing the publishing themes etc. Since I write only as hobby, I'd like to use free one - so I have currently picked up wordpress.com since it takes care everything without paying.
