    Hi there
    I am planning to register a domain name and get hosting and then start my blog on that but i will only be able to do that at the end of next month...

    I want to ask that is it possible that for the moment i register a free blog with wordpress and start writing content and when i will purchase domain and hosting, i then transfer all me data in my blog to the new blog which i will install on new domain and hosting

    My question is.....is it possible?

    Not sure, check out the wordpress site. I know Blogger can do it.

    Why go through the hassle if you are buying an account at the end of the month? Save your time and compile some articles for the new blog, you'd be better off.

    I think it is possible but I am not sure how. However, if you do this and build any good links, you will lose all that because you will have to switch to a real domain. It is better to start when you have the money. If you can afford the domain name now, use blogger because you can host your own domain name till you are ready to transfer.

    Yes, you should be able to import your blog easily using the Import feature.

    OK

    Wordpress admin page -> manager -> Export.

    BUT why not waiting for 20 days ?
    config your blog first at this 20 days . ^^
