  You own your own content – you grant WordPress.COM a license to display it – if you take your own content off WordPress.COM they retain no rights to it – you own the copyright – you can publish a book from your blog writings and you don’t owe WordPress.COM anything

  A word to the wise. Whatever you post online can be quoted by others. Note that author’s who provide excerpts of books they have yet to publish in blogs and later publish the same words in their books cannot claim foul play when they gave away the goods in advance of publication.
