How do you turn a .com domain into a wordpress website and get traffic?

[Jake]

There are a number of free web sits hosts that allow a custom domain name to be used, a blog platform is a good place to start since there is essentially no programming required it's more like filling in forms. Wordpress is the industry standard platform with lots of free and paid design themes and function plugins available (some 17% of the top 1 Million sites use it). Wordpress,com is one free host providing a slightly limited version that
I believe charges a fee to a custom domain name. The majority of wordpress sites are used on paid hosting accounts, a typical 'unlimited' shared hosting account costs $8/mo, allowing you to add as many sites as you want and protecting you from free hosts than can delete your account on a whim.
One very popular alternative is Google Blogger.com, there are no paid upgrades and few editorial restrictions, it does use a proprietary engine, so when you relocate your domain name more site rebuilding effort would be required.
