  how do I turn my blog into a website? I’ve got a .com domain that we pay the yearly premium for. I can see my pages and posts from my mobile phone, but on a laptop the pages are nowhere to be found except through much hardwork to find them or when I’m editing my page

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

  Hello, I’m not sure why you can’t view your site, but I can view it just fine on my laptop. Also, when I searched for MB Solutions in Google, your site was the first one listed.

  There should be a small bar reminding you that you have access to the premium theme at the top of your “WP Admin” page, when you first click it. There you can go through the process of getting your own unique domain.

  So even though I’m paying for one aspect of the service, I can’t turn it into a website until I go premium?

  I just want my pages and tabs to pop up when someone puts in mbsoulutions.com. Not have to search everywhere to find them. Again, on my phone the tabs and pages come up, just not in my laptop or people that we know that show us either.

  Sorry, but what exactly do you mean by “come up”? Do you mean you want a menu to come up with tabs that lead to certain posts and pages?

  It doesn’t look like you’ve created a menu, or any pages yet, only posts. (“posts” and “pages” are different things in WordPress)

  If you install a menu, it can have tabs that go to specific pages or also to post categories. (Say you create a menu item/tab for the category “hobbies”, then clicking on Hobbies in the menu would call up only those posts that have the category “hobbies” attributed to them).

  Have you checked out the Support pages yet? They will walk you through all of this. Just click on Support in the header or footer of this page or on a lot of your sites pages (stats, wp admin, etc).

  Click on the Getting started links to start with if you haven’t gone through any of this, and on “Post versus Page” under Popular topics at the bottom of the main support page. Then use the search box on that same page for specific info.

  For example, if you want a “website” look instead of a “blog” look, type “static front page” into that search box. (You don’t have to pay extra for a “website” instead of a blog, btw. A blog actually is a website, it’s just a question of how you make it look…)

  I hope this helps! If it doesn’t, keep asking and some of the more knowledgeable forum volunteers or staff will answer…
