  I have my own domain hosted elsewhere and I have my website hosted there. (e.g: http://www.abc.com)
  I am intending to switch from Blogger to WordPress and hoping to integrate my blog with my website. (e.g: http://www.abc.com/blog)
  Is this possible?

  You’d need to ask at WordPress.org, since that’s where support for independent installs is available. The answer is yes, but the details are over there.

  Thanks for the prompt reply.

  But I read this from WordPress.org:

  Q: How to I map my wordpress.com blog to a subdirectory of my current domain such as http://domain.com/blog ?
  A: I’m sorry, but subdirectory mapping is not available. You could map to a subdomain as described below.

  Any advice?

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are different. That only applies to blogs hosted at WordPress.COM. You do not have one of those.

  Raincoaster, I thought he was planning to set up a wordpress.com blog and was asking about domain mapping. Anyway, he’s found his own answer from the FAQ’s – he can’t map to a subdirectory.

  hotblob – instead of using the subdirectory, use a subdomain as the FAQ suggests. In other words, blog.abc.com will work here at wordpress.com.

  If, however, you are going to self-host, then you can do anything you want. And the support forums for self-hosted wordpress can be found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
