I have a wordpress.com blog and am planning to start a podcast in that blog. To use their plugins, I have to move to a Wordpress.org site.
I have an existing site for this same venue (revivalfire.org) on which many of the broadcasts are already been uploaded, but the site is written in FrontPage and I am loathe to change that to a Wordpress programming which I have not learned yet.
-Do I need to install the wordpress.org into a new URL in order to keep my old website intact? Or is there a way to incorportate the Wordpress.com site into my existing revivalfire.org site?

Hello Horizo, Check out this video for migrating your Wordpress.com site to a hosted site using Wordpress on a hosting service (using Wordpress.org software). You can migrate it into a subdomain temporarily, if you wish. Just make a subfolder under your revivalfire.org site. The main difference will be that your URL will have the subfolder/subdomain's name tacked to the end of the URL. For example, if you moved the Wordpress.com site into a folder under the revivalfire.org site called WP, then the URL would be revivalfire.org/wp. Hopefully, this provides the information that you need to proceed. If you have any further questions, please contact technical support or leave a comment at the bottom of the page. Regards, Arnel C.
