I have a company with 10-year-old domain name and web site registered with network solutions and I am planning to do a web redesign. i am interested in a brand new web site with my present domain name. i am not interested in a blog. when I signed up for a premium account, I only find a blog service. this i not what i had in mind.

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

  Hi there,

  Please note that the words site and blog are used interchangeably here on WordPress.com. There isn’t a separate sign up or theme for a site as opposed to a blog. They’d be exactly the same.

  I’m assuming the differences you want between a blog and site would be that you’d want a custom menu and static pages like a Home page, Contact Page, etc. And then you may want a separate page for all your posts (blog type posts).

  In order to do this you can create a Home Page by going to Pages > Add new in your Dashboard. This is a static page that would be the page your readers view the minute they visit your site. After you published that, create another page titled Blog, Posts or whatever you want if you want a separate page with all your posts. Leave this page empty, but publish it.

  Then go to Settings > Reading in your Dashboard. At the top where it says Front Page displays: select a static page and set the the Home page you just created as your Front Page, and the Blog or Posts page as your Posts page. If you don’t want a Posts page, you can leave that blank.

  Finally, if you want to create a Custom Menu you can by going to Appearance > Menus in your Dashboard. Please view the link for further instructions.

  In addition, you can add your domain (as a domain mapping) which is included in WordPress.com Premium. All you have to do is update the nameservers of your domain to our at your registrar:

  • NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  • NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  • NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  You can find more information about this here:

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
