Managed WordPress already handles much of the maintenance.
WordPress.com includes hosting, updates, and security. With self-hosted WordPress, those responsibilities depend on your host and setup. Linkfount provides a layout for links, writing, and publications. WordPress gives you more ways to design pages and add features.
