  I’d like to host my blog in a subdirectory or my site (presscleaners.com/blog). How do I do this without having to host WordPress myself?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Why do you want a subdirectory instead of subdomain? The normal way is use a subdomain like blog.presscleaners.com, if you wanted to use a subdirectory you’d need to install WordPress on same webserver as your site.

  Because it’s better for SEO. So there’s no way to do it without hosting myself?

  Yeah to use a subdirectory you’d need to host it yourself.

  As for far as SEO, lots of companies use a subdomain or a different domain all together for their blogs:

  Google: https://googleblog.blogspot.com.au/
  Microsoft: http://blogs.microsoft.com
  Wordpress: https://en.blog.wordpress.com/
  Facebook: http://newsroom.fb.com/
