  I have a blog here through wordpress.com and I want to know if I can technically move the blog over as a subdomain on my main website that’s hosted by Netfirms. How difficult is it? Can I keep my blog.com name, too? Any advice?

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

  No, it’s simply not possible. A WP.com blog is by definition is hosted at WordPress.com. If you want to move the contents over, you’d have to install WordPress.org software in your webspace and Export your blog from here and Import it to there, and give it a domain like blog.whatever.com or whatever.com/blog.

  Hello there,
  Does thewebsite that’s hosted by Netfirms have the capacity to draw from RSS Feeds? If so then you can do that and draw from your WordPress.com free hosted blog’s feed.
