Good or bad I am currently using a free wordpress.org blog site for my website. I know I do not have the variety of options that I would using wordpress.com, but was wondering if it is really necessary to get away from using a subdomain. I currently own the domain - rosebudvirtualservices.com, but thought I could save the cost of hosting for now. Right now my website name is www.rosebudvirtualservices.wordpress.com. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you, Dina Schoenfeld www.rosebudvirtualservices.wordpress.com

Good or bad Dina - This is a little screwy. Why, if you have a wordpress.org site are you using a wordpress.com URL? Your site must be hosted somewhere, and you should be able to use www.rosebudvirtualservices.com. Am I missing something here? __________________ Mary H.

Your site must be hosted somewhere, and you should be able to use www.rosebudvirtualservices.com. Am I missing something here? Yup. If you have a domain, but no hosting service, Wordpress.com offers free blogs (no external host needed), whereas with wordpress.org you need your own hosting service. __________________ Jules, SunRise Virtual Solutions - WordPress Customization & XHTML/CSS Web Sites
