cannot use an existing blog
-
Trying to make a new post , then wordpress tells me I don’t have a blog to post to. Follow the prompts to create one, using my name, then wordpress tells me this blog already exists.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The blog andreaverstegen.wordpress.com was deleted 3 years ago. And as WordPress.com does not recycle URLs, you see that message when you try to start a new blog with the name andreaverstegen.wordpress.com.
If you start a new blog and choose a different URL, you won’t get the error message.
Let me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks for your response.
I take it then, that if I try to set up a new account with new email and password, I still will not be able to use my name as title on my blog? I’m an artist and the gallery features WordPress provide are attractive compared with blogger of which I currently use. Can I import a WordPress gallery to a blogger page? -

That is correct. You can, however, set up a new blog of any name and then use a custom domain to make it be whatever you want, andreaverstegenart.com for example.
Can I import a WordPress gallery to a blogger page?
I do not know the answer to that. But the Blogger support team should be able to answer/help you with that.

….would like to know how to widen the page format and create a gallery of images similar to the format shown here for example:
http://juliaritson.com/category/paintings/ -
That is just a standard category archive page for that theme. All of the posts have featured images, which is why they appear with thumbnail images.

Thanks for that. Do you have a straight forward solution to setting only one post on the front / home page only?

If you log into your WordPress.com site’s dashboard and click Settings–> Reading, there is a setting on that page for “Blog pages show at most…” where you can choose a specified number of posts. Try setting that number to one.

You can’t use a deleted URL for a blog – but if you want to use your name as the TITLE of a blog that is fine – “Art by Andrea Verstegen” or “Andrea Verstegen – Artist” –

No success as this also limits all other pages to only one post. May have to resort to code insertion?
