  Hello, thank you but I have a WordPress.org (?) account (hosted by WordPress with my own domain name) and not a web host one. I know about SEO but that works for hosted sites not on wordpress. How can I make this one work? Currently looking to invest in a hosted site down the line but right now, cannot do so.

  This site http://dutchsdynamicillustration.com/ is hosted by WordPress.COM so do be clear on that.

  P.S. The assumption that stand alone islands which is what WordPress.org blogs are achieve better SEO that blogs hosted here on this WordPress.COM platform is wrong! wrong! wrong! There’s a big SEO advantage to being hosted here so don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise.

  P.S.S – links 2 & three above work for ANY web site / blog

  Thank you all. I’ll eventually head to a hosted site. Right now, this is a “soft opening” and wanting to build a base hitting all social media and taking advantage of what I have. As I grow, this too shall grow.
