  It looks like you had the exact same discussion 7 months back and all the replies in that thread are clear and valid.

  Those replies should help and I suggest you to work on those. If you have any specifics to discuss about, let us know and we will answer.

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page. This one is at https://wordpress.com/theme/dara and that’s where set up instructions for it, and the live demo site link is found. Have you checked out those instructions?

  A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.

  A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.

  What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.

  Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being page based to being post based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read >

  activestandard – Your site https://activestandard.org/ looks very much like a business website, with no link to a blog. If there’s something specific you still need help with or are getting stuck on, just let us know.
