  I don’t know if my site is self hosted or not. Is it? If it is not, what do I do to get it to be a self hosted site. I want to be able to do minimal affiliate marketing, by including books I recommend to my followers. I’m know I paid for a .com name instead of a wordpress.com url. Does that mean I am self hosted?

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

  Your site at http://trustingtraveler.com/ is currently hosted by WordPress.com.

  If you want to move your site to another hosting provider, you will need to set up your new hosting account, point your domain to that new hosting, export your content from WordPress.com and import it into the new site.

  For an explanation on how to move your site, see:

  For help pointing your domain, see:

  And for a brief accounting of the differences between WordPress.com and a self-hosted site using the software from WordPress.org, please visit:
