  First of all I have never activated my WordPress blog. I already had a web site and own my domain name. Now, I am ready to redesign my web page and need advice.

  My web site is hosted by LaughingSquid. I built the site myself but now want to upgrade it using your templates and pug-ins. I also own my domain name (leathakendrick.com) and have paid it up for a few years. Is it best to build my site with WordPress and migrate it to LaughingSquid? or leave LaughingSquid and buy space from WordPress?

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

  You are posting to the wrong support forum. There is no FTP access to any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we bloggers cannot install plugins. Please read this entry so you are clear on the limitations and restrictions on free hosted WordPress.COM blogs
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate sites with different username accounts and logins. You are posting to the wrong support forum. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  Thanks. I figured this out pretty quickly. I appreciate your taking time to answer, however.
