Hi –
The menu can be edited by following these steps:
You’ll want to create a new page for your posts to publish on, and name it “blog”. Click My Sites – Pages – New
Next, assign that new page to be your blog page.
The last step would be to add the new page to your site menu. Publish some test posts to see how things look.

Thank you all.
Dear lizkarkoski
I created the blog by clicking on (create a free blog), a page opened to create the first post but the blog was named after that post! Did I miss anything here?
How can I name the blog and customize its settings like a regular blog?Thank you very mcuh

How can I add my existing blog to the menu?
Can you clarify where your existing blog is? That would help. I see one blog post on this site but I am guessing you might have another blog elsewhere.

Hi
It’s supposed to be on WordPress. I clicked on “get a free blog” and that took me to “write my first post” so after writing the first post, I couldn’t figure where the blog actually is!
I followed the staff advice above, and I don’t know if what I have now is considered a blog??Can you please help?
Thank you

Hi there,
I can see that you have correctly added a Blog item in your menu. When I click it I am directed to your blog posts.
If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

Hi
Thank you for that, But how can I ask readers to sign up or register ?
And does the blog have its own settings? I couldn’t find out how to change its settings, it seems that the settings are for the website as whole and not for the blog as a separate blog.Thank you for your help.

Once readers have followed your blog, they can elect to receive an email each time you post, or to receive daily or weekly digests of all of your new posts. They can also elect to receive no emails, but to read your blog only in the WordPress.com Reader.
The below support document should shed some light regarding reader subscription.
Hope that helps and let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Hi
Thank you. But how can I limit certain content to subscribed readers?
For example, how can I ask them to subscribe to the read the rest of an article? -
Hi translationskills,
how can I ask them to subscribe to the read the rest of an article?
There isn’t a built-in option to limit content to subscribers rather than the general public. As a workaround, you could add a follow blog by email widget:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Password protect any content you would like visible to email subscribers only:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-visibility/
Then add the password to the “Blog follow email text” in the invitation email (where they are asked to confirm their email subscription):
https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/reading-settings/#follower-settings
Just an idea :)
