  I’m currently in the decision making process of whether I want to build a website. I love to blog and share my experiences. I’m gluten free so I like to share that with people. I also like sports so I like to talk about that as well. I just don’t know if I should just keep doing a free blog or upgrade. I feel like I want a place where I can have different blogs about different subjects. I guess I’m just looking for advice if I should do it or not…

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

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/theme/twentysixteen and that’s where set up instructions for it and the live demo site link is found.

  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 post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
