Add topic to favorites
I’ve literally just migrated my blogger http://bobbyfamilytree.blogspot.com to here http://bobbyfamilytree.wordpress.com

Now, i have my own domain that i have been using for my familytree ( http://www.bobbyfamilytree.com )

It only just dawned on me that i could (I think) use my own url for the wordpress blog ( http://www.bobbyfamilytree.com/genealogy/blog )but keep the hosting here?

Would that be possible?

If so, i assume that i would need a re-direct of some sort to be put into my blog folder on my .com website. How do i do this.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,
Bobby.

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

Welcome to WordPress. You need the domain mapping upgrade:

Just as a note, as far as I can remember you can’t use domain.com/blog, just blog.domain.com or variations thereof.

Welcome!

You’re right, cat, as his unmapped url is already a subdomain of wordpress.com. I read as far as “my own domain.”

You gave me the chance to share my very limited knowledge! ;)

It’s mentioned in the linked FAQ anyway, so it’s all good!

If you wanted to host it like this http://www.bobbyfamilytree.com/genealogy/blog and you have FTP access you should look at the http://www.wordpress.org option…..

OK, perhaps i’ll pass this up for now, maybe look into again at later stage.

Thankyou for replies to question.
