I still want to keep blogging on my blog but still confused on how I could attach it to my website. Because I feel like with two different urls, I won't be able to build sort of a system between my website and blog that's interconnected, you know what I mean? For example, as one grows I want the other to grow as well because they're connected with each other.

I know people with websites can easily make a blog and attach it to their website (www.example.com/blog), but doing the opposite of that seems kind of impossible.

Anyone visiting the current WP.com site will see that post and can decide if they want to go there or not.

You could continue to post here at times or just stop posting here and make all new posts there.

I want to know if I can take the blog I have now and some how add it to my website? I want to make it so its like http://www.example.com/blog or blog.example.com or something along those lines when you click on my WordPress blog through my website.

The fact that they will have two different urls really confuses me, especially since I don't want my blog url being replaced by my new one because I have a lot of history behind it. So I'm thinking I won't be able to do blog.example.com unless they were both on the same url..? I don't know, this process is just really confusing and I would really appreciate some help!

Thanks.

I've heard that's because security reasons, but I'm very lay to understand that exactly.
So, if there's any possibility, my suggestion would be that, instead of users, the wordpress team add some useful popular plugins.
I'd love to use Fotomoto on my blog, but definetely am not disposed to host my own site...

I ended up using find/replace in text editor for those remaining pictures.

I think what happened is I jumped the gun before the new wordpress had fully imported. So I may have interrupted it and stopped it from finishing. All in all it worked out.

I fix this by manually removing the folder reference (eg in a page or post, going to HTML view, etc), or by downloading a copy of the database and doing a search and replace in a text editor to remove the folder reference - be careful with this and keep a backup of the backup.

What I'm saying is you may need to correct the url that your WordPress site is using to try to find these files (change it from the old hosted url to the new WordPress.com hosted url).

I have never had to change nameservers before.

The domain is http://www.affordablyhealthy.org (Godaddy) which I am forwarding and masking to affordablyhealthylife.wordpress.com, a free wordpress.com blog

However I am getting a 404 error code. Godaddy states there are too many ip addresses pointing to the domain? I am not the actual owner of the blog, just the one setting it up. Currently waiting for owner to get back with me with acct info so that I can talk with Godaddy more in detail. Until then, I wanted to know is there anything I can do on my end? I have never had this problem before with a free wordpress.com blog.

I tried to follow the instructions for linking my domain to WordPress but I didn't really understand what to do when I got to the stage where you enter the nameservers - you need at least two apparently, and I didn't know what to put.

Could someone please tell me clearly step-by-step how I link confessionsofamelancholic.com with my existing free domain at WordPress (but of course keeping my original domain) - I haven't done anything with the domain name yet, so there is no content or anything on it.

Also, how much does WordPress charge if I were to use them as my host?
