== Summary ==
WordPress.com is a [[WP:BLOGS|blog]] hosting service that runs on the [[WordPress]] software. As a [[WP:SPS|self-published source]], it is considered generally unreliable and should be avoided unless the author is a [[WP:EXPERTSOURCE|subject-matter expert]] or the blog is used for [[WP:ABOUTSELF|uncontroversial self-descriptions]]. WordPress.com should never be used for claims related to [[WP:BLPSPS|living persons]]; this includes interviews, as even those cannot be authenticated.
