  How can I add a second domain to my wordpress account? Second domain will include a different content, using a different WP template.

  Is this possible?

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Are you asking how do I register another blog under the same username account?
  If so click this link https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/

  Yes. This link doesn’t allow me enter the domain I had previously bought.

  Are you asking: How do I set up domain mapping of a domain I already own?

  If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  I mapped the link, but i think this wasn’t what i wanted to do. I wanted to have two different websites running under same dashboard / log-in to manage both sites. It looks like in mapping, one of them has to be primary domain and the secondary is redirected to the primary domain.

  Hey no, but thanks. All i wanted to do is to create 2 distinct sites running within the same account.

  You can do that and I already posted how to do that above.

  Each blog is independent and has its own dashboard.

  Hi @evrenart,

  Just a note, we received your email to support. I’m going to respond back here and close your email request to keep things organized. Please keep all future correspondence in this thread!

  So, just to make sure we’re on the same page, you want to setup two distinctly separate sites like this:

  example1.wordpress.com

  example2.wordpress.com

  Both would be managed under your user account evrenart. Correct?

  If so, you’ll need to add a new site to your account following the steps here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-new-site to-an-existing-account

  Then, once you have the new site setup (example2.wordpress.com), you can map a domain to it as explained here:

  Can you give that a try?
