My only experience with WordPress has been here on WA, yet with my new job I am working with a blog that was already set up. I quite like the theme I use at work (TwentyEleven)
Why not have your company join WA under your affiliate link and build their site on it and just maintain it for them and you will earn $22.50 per month from them. Just a thought.
I had thought of this Tommy but I'm not going to be with them forever and I don't want to complicate things for them - logging in, etc. Do you know why the back office is so different between Wordpress.com and WA?
Hi.
Some people use themes as they come - but others may tweak them if they know what they are doing (and in some cases the theme options let you change the look and feel dramatically).
If they are definitely the same theme - that's the only reason I can think of that would make them look different.
I host all of my wordpress sites at WA (except two - but they were built before I found WA) - and I am very happy with the hosting and support etc.
I hope that helps?
All the best, Mark

Why is the same theme different on wordpress dot com and wa?

There are many different custom versions of Wordpress. The way things are set up at WP.com may be different, meaning there are different tabs to look at. Also, plugins can add tabs to your admin area.
If your boss wants to set up a blog, you can host it on your WA account for a fee (her, paying you to manage the site), then they can transfer later if you decide to leave. Or, you can get a self hosted site at a different company like Hostgator or Blue host. Setting up the WP site will be different though!

I need something easy to use with a shop that will allow me to sell e-books. My challenge is that there seem to be too many to choose from and I'm overwhelmed... cannot move for
I like Kathy's suggestion! I would also second the vote for Studiopress. They are good, and I use them.
Easy Digital Downloads is a free plugin that will let you sell ebooks. A client of mine uses it and although she's not that "techie" she manages fine with it. You can use it with most free themes.
If you take a look at Marion link to help choose your theme you can just add the plugin to that. :)
This may help Choose a New Theme There are thousands of FREE themes to choose from but this is how you can narrow it down. ~Marion
Hi, Sibylle.
Let me start with a disclaimer - I am a happy user and an affiliate for Studiopress premium themes. If this is a problem simply ignore my post :)
There is a brand new Genesis framework theme for authors:
http://my.studiopress.com/themes/author/
Again, I am not pushing you into anything but ... if you will eventually choose to go the Genesis way let me know and I will politely ask you to use my referral link :)
I am here for any further questions, of course.
Thanks Ervin. I will definitely look at Studiopress premium themes and, if I decide to go with them, I will certainly use your referral link.
I WOULD LIKE TO BE HAVE ASITE TO SELL UNIQE LEATHER RINGS PIPESAND ARTICLES THAT MAY BE EITHERORN OR THINGSTO GET A PERSON OUT OF A STICKY SITUATION
Thanks for this. Don't suppose there are any that are free? Also, it seems only to be able to sell tangible items.
Thank you. Think I need some sleep first... will have a better look tomorrow. Am I the only person who takes forever to choose a theme?
Definitely not, I too had trouble deciding. My wife chose a responsive theme she liked then added the woo commerce plugin and it seems fine.
Cheers

Hi All,
I'm wanting to put my Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure in my footer area, but it seems I don't have one. There is no "Footer" widget at all. Short of chan
There may be a plugin to create a footer, but they are naturally theme dependent!

Thanks for this. I think I'm finally beginning to get my head around it.
