  I would like to blog on a different subject.
  I have been blogging about trip to Australia for friends and family. Now I want to blog about a professional topic – a theatre workshop.
  How do I let people see the latter without going onto former topic.

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

  The best option you have it to create another site. Then you can interlink the two sites by creating custom menus on both and adding custom links to the other site into the custom menu.

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/theme/twentysixteen and that’s where set up instructions for it and the live demo site link is found.

  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/
