Blank page instead of blog site

    I just requested that my blog get “merged” with my domain. My site is coming up with a blank page instead of my blog pages. Prior to using WordPress I forced my site to the index.html file because of this problem, but now its unavoidable. I know the index.php file is my problem, but I don’t know how to fix it. currently the index.php file looks like this:

    <?php

// Try to handle it with the upper level index.php. (it should know what to do.)
if (file_exists(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/index.php'))
	include (dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/index.php');
else
	exit;

?>

    I would really appreciate some help, but please keep it simple, I’m a self taught hacker and I get lost in the jungle sometimes. :-)

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

    Hello,
    I believe you’re in the wrong forum. This one is for blogs hosted here on WordPress.com. The other forum is for WordPress blogs like yours that are hosted elsewhere. The problems that users have (and the solutions) are usually quite different which is why the two forums are separate. Please repost your question at: https://wordpress.org/support/

    If you don’t have a username at that forum, you’ll need to register before posting.

    For more information about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, visit: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    I beg to differ, when I work on my forum I am on this url: https://wordpress.com/stats/day/uneasytimes.com

    That looks like a .com to me.

    It’s quite possible that I don’t understand your question and I’m sorry if I led you astray, but this page says your site is hosted on doteasy.com and not WordPress.com: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/

    Also, you mentioned editing the index.php file, but that is not allowed on a WordPress.com blog, it can only be modified on a self-hosted blog.

    Okay, I see now that I must have done things in the wrong order, even though WordPress allows things to be done this way.

    I already had the domain. WordPress.com sells the “merging” option for $13. (compared to buying the whole package at once for slightly more) .

    I assumed this was a problem caused by the “merge” since it manifested at that point.

    I will see if my web host can help me.
