  I have tried twice to build a website but get a blog each time. I have had to create a new site name each time. I need a website not blog. Can anyone help me change this? Thanks,

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

  A blog is a Website and vice versa. It is all about the fine-tuning of your new site. Blogs tend to be post-based (and more popular with search engines as the content changes regularly). Websites tend to favour a static front page as an introduction and a page format where stuff doesn’t change much if at all along with a menu to aid navigation. Also some themes are more blog-like than others.

  If you don’t want your site to be a blog one thing you can immediately change is the footer credit from “Blog at WordPress.com” to just “WordPress.com” by going to Customize and Site identity.
