building a website
-
I am trying to build a website but your site will not allow me to do so. I watch the videos but it gives you instructions for options that do not exist on my page??????
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You are most likely watching videos that apply to wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting.
Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/twentysixteen/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://twentysixteendemo.wordpress.com/
The difference between web site and blog is just semantics and structure.
WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/
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/
