Hosting a basic blog at wordpress.com is free, but they will show ads on your site. If you upgrade, you can get your own domain, control your own ads, get more space, etc..
If you have any questions, I'll answer tham (for free). :)
ps: In case people are confused, Wordpress is php blog software that is free an open source. It is available at wordpress.org. The company that manages development runs a commercial venture at wordpress.com, selling hosting services.
No I have a site with good search standings and I want to keep it as an independent website. Not as a blogspot site.
