[...] A: Cost: Self-Hosted usually require a monthly hosting fee unless you already have the space. WordPress.com websites are free. Functionality: With a self-hosted website you can add and modify the website theme as you would like and add a lot more plugins to increase the functionality of the website. WordPress.com only has a specified number of available sites and plugins.

Hi. Thanks for this post.

Is there anyway of embedding flash into a Wordpress.com blog without self-hosting?

I’d like to embed a ustream channel on a blog I have but don’t want the hassle of buyng hosting space.

Any ideas?

The sites that you mentioned are WordPress.com blog, but pointed to their own domain.

I have not heard of a way that you can hooked to a WordPress.com account from a self-hosted blog.

Great article, and thanks for explaining the difference. However how does one host a blog on their own domain, but still have it “hooked” to a wordpress.com account? A good example of this are the cnn.com blogs or technologizer.com. If one is logged into their wordpress.com account and visits these sites, a gray bar appears on the top of the screen that allows you to leave comments as your default wordpress.com user. Is there a wordpress.com API that allows this?

hi guy,
an important thing that we can do using wordpress in our own hosting is configure the friendly URL to improve the SEO, what there is no way to do using wordpress.com

wordpress.com don’t allow ads like adsense…would be a good alternative to blogger and others.
