  Hello!

  Here is an awesome article on how to use WordPress to create a website (instead of a blog)!

  There are links within the article to other pages on related topics as you determine what your needs are.

  A blog is a website. This is all semantics and blog structure. 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 it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is. When it also has a static front page that compels visitors to click through a static front page every time they visit the site then the blogger may have made a traffic killing choice.

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

  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

  On one hand, none of the characteristic “blog” features like categories, tags, authors, dates, etc. can be removed from a free hosted WordPress.com blog, without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing.

  On the other hand, one can edit a WordPress.org theme free of charge. Read the comparison > WordPress.com and WordPress.org: The Differences http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
