Are you asking how to get the feed URL like the one we use in the Blog Reader project? If so, you'll need to install the JSON API plugin and enable a JSON feed like the one we use. You'll probably need to parse the data a little differently, but most of the code will work.

You can either purchase a domain through a website like domain.com, and then register it under your account settings in Wordpress.

Or you may be able to purchase a domain name directly through Wordpress.

Check under your account settings ;)

Hi David, Have you read this very good lesson lesson from Zac (12 mn) http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-wordpress-blog/getting-started-with-wordpress/wordpresscom-and-wordpressorg-2

He tells everything you need to know and he includes the links in the footer note

Have Fun

It seems people got my question wrong, Ben got it right, I had the JSON API plugin installed but couldn't figure out how to get the summary, i edited the JSON core.php file by adding the get summary function , that worked, thanks for the prompt response
