  Hi there. I recently created a wordpress blog (that is hosted by wordpress) in order to replace a lame website hosted on Yahoo Small Business. When I was looking at some new features on Yahoo, it turns out they can host wordpress blogs. Is there a way to “transfer” my wordpress-hosted blog to my yahoo-hosted site/domain? I represent a 501(c)(3) educational, non-profit organization.

  Thanks!

  That is likely an installed version of wordpress, known around these parts as wordpress.org. You can transfer the contents of your blog by exporting them and importing them over there.

  Well, first thing newbies should always do is check the FAQ :)

  Hi,
  New blogger here. In an effort to have a 3 column page to my liking, decided to dowload a free css theme from a developer. I bought a domain name from godaddy (brooklynmodern.com) and I would like to migrate my blog to this address.
  1: is this possible?
  2. who is a good host if it is possible?
  3. can i just write in the wordpress site i have set up and have it uploaded to the website?
  4. are there directions on wordpress on how to move your site over?
  thanks-g

  Read the links above you. Additional questions on hosting and the like you should ask over at the org forums – http://wordpress.org/support/
