comment Blog woes: I don't host it and it's subdomained, but should I host it and be subfoldered?
Thanks for all the replies! Just this past month we moved our site from Wordpress.com to a self-hosted WordPress. That was per the advice of the SEO consultant we hired who has done wonders for us. Migrating the blog was pretty easy, and WordPress itself is easy to maintain. The hardest part was getting the blog to integrate seamlessly with another website of ours so that together they appear as one. We went with a subfolder, and I'm happy we made the move since we have much more control over plugins, style, layout, etc.

Thanks for the reply! Yup, we pay wordpress.com $9/year to use our domain, but you only get a subdomain. Meaning we have "blog.mycompany.com" and not "mycompany.com/blog". The latter being a subfolder, which some will argue is better, and in case if I switch to that it means I'll host the blog. What I wonder is if it's REALLY worth the trouble to self host just to have the subfolder setup (is it really THAT much better than a subdomain?).
