    Is it true that you cannot FTP to a wordpress blog unless it is on your own domain? IE..blahblah.wordpress.com will not work with ftp.

    Not sure, but I imagine so. Why would they give you FTP access to their server?

    If you want FTP access install it yourself...it's free...

    You cannot FTP to a blog hosted at wordpress.com.

    Yes it's true ,that's why I always suggest people to get their own domain and host.

    I don't think Wordpress.com would allow that - at least for the time being. It's better to have your own domain.

    Yea.. get yourself set up with a real blog on your TL domain. It is the only way to go and will be much better in the long run. You will be so glad you did in a matter of weeks... LOL

    It is ten times or even thirty times better to have full control over your own blog and the database that drives it..
