Does it help with SEO?
Maybe there is a tiny tiny bit of help if you are targeting one keyword with your domain, or helping Google understand what your site is about, but mostly it's to allow you to describe your site to your visitors.
Not all themes show this! It's always an option in Wordpress, but sometimes you don't see it, sometimes you do based on which theme you choose.
So, in the scheme of things it is not of great importance as far as keywords are concerned. Good to know. Thanks!
The most important thing for your main home page keyword is the home page title. Focus on that not the tagline, the main impotance of the tagline is for your branding and getability.
Think of it this way, if you maake your logo and tagline 9 which many do ) a graphic then you can seo that graphic with the alt tag

What is the difference? What are the costs associated with the second?
Thanks for such a quick response Kyle, nathaniell and Dawn. :) I definitely want my own .com but wonder if I should build my site on that or use the free one to build and then transfer. Or does it matter?
Also, I just checked out the domain registrar Kyle recommended, do I need to set up an account there? If so...do I list myself as an individual/business or reseller?
I know I am asking a lot of questions and I really appreciate the help.
It depends on how much you have built. If you have a lot of content then you'll want to transfer over to .com and don't rebuild it.
I do not think you have to set up an account in order to buy a domain but you are not a reseller (resell the domain name).
Hope this helps. Keep letting us know how you're doing.

I think you got your answer. When Kyle and Nathaniell speak, your question has definitely been answered.

I recommend getting your own .com. They are more brandable and rank better in Google. It's about $10 per year from a domain registrar and will help your business immensely. Just make sure you like your niche and want to stick with it, so you don't have to buy more than one!
You can transfer the content of your free site to your .com if easily within WA.
You can do either or, we have a facility here at WA that will allow you to transfer your free website over to your own domain.

Ideally at some point you will get your own domain, but this is completely up to you. In Level 2 of the certification training it will be discussed how to transfer over, but this is completely up to you.
If you want to start off right away with your own domain, that is fine but so is starting off with a free website and transferring when you are ready Kat.

Logo should give a good strong message of who you are
tagline should compliment the logo and say what you do
Thanks!
