Hi Bob, 1. Note sure your angle on needing to increase text size. If you mean using the text editor in Edit Page or Edit Post admin screen, you can either use a header option, (header 1, header 2, header 3, etc.), or install a plugin like TinyMCE Advanced which will allow you to customize the text editor and add the ability to control font size. The other way is to change the CSS style sheet. 2. There is more than one way to password protect a page. One way is to use the "Visibility" function on your Edit Page or Edit Post admin screen to change the page or post to Password Protected or Private. You can read more details in the WordPress Codex here. Good luck

Wordpress.com is for those who have or want their wordpress blog(s) hosted using wordpress.com’s free hosting service. In that case you would have a website at http://www.youruniquename.wordpress.com. There is a huge community of bloggers, something like 250,000 who have their blogs on wordpress.com. You can create a blog very easyilywith them and be up and running in no time. They have it set-up to make it easy for people – and best of all it is free. And there are some limitations as well, such as, you cannot install your own plugins if you want to extend your blogs functionality beyond the way it is configured. I suspect that is necessary to keep their platform stable.

Wordpress.org provides information and resources for all users and interested parties with regard to Worpress. It is the home for WordPress. You can download the latest version to install yourself, find documentation on how to install yourself, and on how to customize or otherwise work with your wordpress blog. So the two sites have unique purposes and functions. It depends on what you want or need. If you want a blog hosted on a custom domain name rather than on wordpress.com, or if you want customization outside the limitations of what wordpress.com offers, I can install and host one for you, customize it as you like, and so on. Hope that all helps.

David,
Very informative! I look forward in using WordPress. I have one question though, what is better to use, WordPress.com or WordPress.org?
