Know differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org

Many people are confused by the two different versions of WordPress, so don’t worry if you’re one of them right now. Most other blogging applications have just one version, so why does WordPress have two?

Think of WordPress.com as the WordPress-hosted version of the application and WordPress.org as the self-hosted version of the application. So when you create a blog using WordPress.com, you only have to worry about writing and publishing content. However, when you create a blog using WordPress.org, you need to find your own web host to store and serve your content.

WordPress.com versus WordPress.org

1. Cost: Both WordPress.com and WordPress.org are free to use, but with WordPress.org, you need to pay for your own hosting account through a web host and register your own domain name. Neither costs are required if you use WordPress.com.

2. Themes: WordPress blogs are built on themes. A theme is basically a template made up of files that lay out the style, functionality, and parts of a blog created with that theme. WordPress.com users with free accounts have access to a library of themes, but that library is limited. WordPress.org users, on the other hand, can upload and modify themes from designers or, if they understand CSS, can create their own themes, which gives them far more design options.

3. Customization: WordPress.com users with free accounts have access to limited customization options, but they can pay a fee to be able to modify the CSS files and, therefore, customize their blogs’ appearances. WordPress.org users have complete access to all files and code related to their blogs and can customize them.

4. Control: To earn money, WordPress sometimes displays ads on WordPress.com blogs. You can eliminate those ads by paying for premium WordPress.com features. WordPress.org users never see these ads and have complete control of their blogs.

5. Users: WordPress.com users with free accounts can create an unlimited number of blogs, but each private blog created can only have up to 35 users. To give an unlimited number of users access to your private blog, you need to purchase a premium WordPress.com upgrade. WordPress.org users are not subjected to such restrictions.

6. Plug-ins: WordPress.com users are not able to use third party WordPress plug-ins, or add-ons that extend the functionality of their blogs. WordPress.org users can.

7. Space: WordPress.com users with free accounts are given a limited amount of space—3 gigabytes (GB)—to store their blogs on WordPress-owned servers. However, that space is usually enough for the average blogger. Additional space is available for a fee as a premium WordPress.com feature. WordPress.org users are limited in terms of space based on the hosting account they purchase from a third party host.

- WordPress.com users cannot upload audio or music files to their blogs without first purchasing additional space, a premium feature upgrade.

8. Monetization: WordPress.com users cannot currently display ads or other moneymaking features on their WordPress-hosted blogs. WordPress.org users, on the other hand, can monetize their blogs by displaying ads from third parties, selling products, and more.

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer  is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor.  Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop   program function in which Delay() funct...
