  Is it possible to mirror a wordpress.com blog on a personal domain site by imbedding some html code in a page on the personal domain site?

  Staff have requested that if your WP.com blog is identical to a blog elsewhere you make the WP.com one private. So that would be “No.”

  You could purchase the domain upgrade and have something like http://blog.yoursite.com and that would be your WP.com blog, just with a different URL.

  Maybe I didn’t phrase the question correctly. What I want to do is for my WP.com blog to be the “dominant” blog for security purposes. I just want to be able to show the blog (or the latest posting) in a page on a website that is hosted by a web hotel. Is that technically possible?

  A web hotel? I don’t know what that is.

  I think you might need to ask staff.

  FYI: If you have the blog here but post all the content in another place, for one thing you’ll take a huge hit in SEO, because naturally search engines will consider it duplication/spamming.

  A web hotel, i.e. where your domain is hosted.

  I think it’s probably simpler just to get the subdomain, but that’s just my opinion. That will preserve your googlejuice, which is always a priority for me.
