Hoo boy,
I think I really messed up. I have read until my eyes have crossed on this forum, everything I could find about building a bed and breakfast website. I have built several other business websites but never one for a B&B - AND, I have never used wordpress. So -- I purchased my domain through godaddy and after reading here, but apparently missing a critical detail -- I purchased the wordpress.COM business package 299/yr -- thinking I could use the custom themes (in particular I wanted to look at themeforest). Imagine my shock when I realized that .com and .org are entirely different and that I can't even get custom themes on wordpress.com. Arghhhhh!
So now I have to make a decision. Do I ask for a refund and head over to the wordpress.org - or can I make a decent site that will work for my needs on wordpress.com?
I don't know how to write code at all. I DO want to manage my own site though and make changes when I see fit and as often as I see fit.
Does anyone have their sites hosted on wordpress.com? Have you found themes that work well?
Alternatively, can a person who doesn't know code or CSS get around ok with a custom theme on wordpress.org?
...and I need an emote that is banging his head against the wall!
