New Domains for You and .me    阅读原文» Today we are adding .me (to .com, .org and .net) as a new option for upgrading to your own, custom domain name on WordPress.com. All of our domain mapping options cost just a couple dollars per month for your domain name and hosting. You don’t have to deal with web servers or configuration, we take care of everything for you. Get your own .me domain on WordPress.com. As Sara mentioned a couple months ago, one of the most common questions we get is whether you can use your own domain for WordPress.com blogs.

More traffic for your blog with the follow button    阅读原文» We’ve written before about our efforts at WordPress.com to help you get more attention for your work. And we’re here again with a new feature: follow . After weeks of experimentation with different designs, locations and names, we’ve determined the addition of a small, cute, little button at the bottom of your blog will dramatically help pageviews and retention. Starting today, on all blogs, whenever someone who is not logged into WordPress.com visits, they’ll see this small little button in the bottom right corner. The button is mostly out of the way, but just noticeable enough before people leave. And when a visitor clicks on the button, it smoothly slides open, revealing a simple way to follow the blog without having the burden of checking back on their own to see if there’s anything new. They can put their email address in, and will be notified whenever your blog has a new po...
