Scary stuff! I have heard this before. It’s too intimidating to think of investing anything in my blog right now since I don’t have a job. Hopefully it will be real clear when it looks like it’s time to make the switch! thanks for the advice!

Bullet proof security plugin, huh? Cool, I will look it up. I realize you wrote this post over a year ago but I like what you said. I had been advised by some colleagues of mine to not use a free wordpress site for my business. I have always kind of regretted using a paid site while people I know have just as good a site as me but they don’t pay a dime. Now you’ve given me some reassurance as to why I spend a monthly fee for my site. Thanks!

Hi Allison! There are two options for backing up, one is to use the Tools->Export function to download a backup file, and another is to use a backup plugin which will do it periodically or manually however you set it. Check my post on plugins for that one, however like I said, I'm not sure what plugins are allowed on the wp.com site. When you eventually move your blog you can still use Wordpress (as a matter of fact you will WANT to), it's just that it will be hosted on a site you pay for (like GoDaddy). Hope this helps! Wishing you Fabulous Success,
