 * Hello, we have a blog, freewarebible.wordpress.com, and it seems to drive a good
   amount of traffic to our site. However, we wanted to integrate wordpress.org 
   directly into our website and style it to match the navigation on the rest of
   the site.
 * I downloaded wordpress.org and set it up on our site, but it doesn’t seem to 
   be showing up in wordpress.com searches. This leads me to believe we are better
   off with wordpress.com because it is helping new visitors find our site everyday.
 * My question is Does wordpress.com have something similar to THE LOOP on wordpress.
   org. If so, how would I go about implementing that on my website?
 * Additionally, is there something similar to the loop, but I can separate it by
   category? [http://www.freewarebible.com/images/god_flowchart.jpg](http://www.freewarebible.com/images/god_flowchart.jpg)
   shows what I am talking about. The 6 images around the God Is… Hexagon will be
   every post split into 6 categories. When you click these 6 categories, they will
   show only those categories in the loop. Then, if the user clicks to view more
   of the post, it will bring the user back to freewarebible.wordpress.com.
 * If wordpress offers these options, it seems like a win-win situation. wordpress.
   org doesn’t seem like the solution for us because we are using wordpress.com 
   to drive new traffic to our site.

 * WordPress.com search only searches wordpress.**com** blogs, not other websites.
   I’m surprised that you could get a lot of traffic from wordpress.com searches.
   I get most of my traffic from Google searches, links from other blogs or social
   networking sites, and subscribed users using a variety of feed readers.
