  I would like to have my logo as the image showing next to my website name up in the browser window, like twitter has the little bird and facebook the F-logo.
  I thought gravatar was a way to do that but apparently not.
  Please help?

  Hi,

  Do you mean the tiny logo that appears before the browser tab when you visit a site? Since your site is a WordPress.com site, it will have the WordPress logo on tabs.

  Thank you, yes that is what I mean.
  I have My own domain name, (solrosenhalsokost.se) but it’s redirected to the WordPress site so I guess there is no way around it?
  It only works on real websites then?

  You’re welcome.
  Correction: I meant at the beginning of a browser tab, not “before.”

  I know you can do it with a self-hosted WordPress.org site, but I don’t know if it can be done on custom domain WordPress.com site.

  Okay thank you! Very helpful this.

  Could you Change your wordpress Account to a self-hosted one, or is that when you have a premium Account that you pay for?
  Really appreciate all the answers!

  Hi,

  Could you Change your wordpress Account to a self-hosted one…

  Yes. See the Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site support page.

  …or is that when you have a premium Account that you pay for?

  A self-hosted WordPress.org style site is not available with a WordPress.com Premium Plan. The two versions of WordPress are very different. See the WordPress.com and WordPress.org support page.

  There are also numerous other comparative guides on the two “flavors” of WordPress. Here are a couple of them:

  • WordPress.org vs WordPress.com: A Definitive Guide For 2015
  • Self Hosted WordPress.org vs. Free WordPress.com

  (wpbeginner.com)

  Although there are free web hosting options for a WordPress.org site “almost all of them have some sort of catch,” according to the article How to Choose the Best WordPress Hosting? (at wpbeginner.com).
