Just set up a blog normally, then go through the nicely documented process to switch to your own domain. Definitely worth trying out, because with WordPress.com, you don't have to worry about upgrading it all yourself! @angela: You can use your own domain with WordPress.com.

I currently host on godaddy.com and am running an older version of wordpress. BUT I've seen the revision with 2.7 and really want to upgrade. BUT: I'm really afraid to upgrade throught godaddy.com. Godaddy doesn't give any tech support and I'm scared my site which I use for my real estate business will go down. I'm wondering if it's better to host it on wordpress, because I noticed one of my other blogs hosted there already automatically was upgraded, and I LOVE the 2.7 goodies. So...can anyone help me? If I move my blog to be hosted on wordpress 1) how would I do that and 2) wouldn't my blog then be a SUBDOMAIN of wordpress, and wouldn't that hurt me in the search engines?

So…can anyone help me?

If I move my blog to be hosted on wordpress

1) how would I do that and
2) wouldn’t my blog then be a SUBDOMAIN of wordpress, and wouldn’t that hurt me in the search engines?

Jumping through this many hoops for an upgrade would be OK if upgrades were rare. Instead, because this is a webapp with frequent security holes, jumping through all these hoops is a frequent occurrence. It's so bad that it drove me away from Wordpress. I don't know how this could be fixed--an upgrade script, perhaps, or a file hierarchy that separates the program files and the plugins--but I am surprised that Wordpress still has not dealt with this.

We heard how tired you were of doing upgrades for yourself and your friends, so now WordPress includes a built-in upgrade that will automatically notify you of new releases, and when you’re ready it will download them, install them, and upgrade your blog with a single click." Finally... Hurrah ! “Last, but certainly not least, this may be the last time you ever have to manually upgrade WordPress again.
