  I am trying to change this blog format to a website. I also want to add keywords for the search engines. Also, my home page looks formatted to the left…it should be centered.

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

  Hi there,

  Please note that we use the words: blog and site interchangeably here on WordPress.com. There is no different layout for sites versus blogs. I’m assuming that when you mean site (not blog) you prefer to have a main Home page, then different pages based on what you need rather than just a Posts page with all your blog posts.

  In order to do this, you can create a Custom Menu. Make sure you have all the pages published that you need in your Pages > All Pages section of your Dashboard. Then you can add these pages to your Menu via the link above.

  I also want to add keywords for the search engines.

  You can add tags to your posts as seen in this support guide:

  Organize posts with tags

  Also, my home page looks formatted to the left…it should be centered.

  As for this, it looks like it may be better to choose another theme as this theme’s layout sets posts to the left hand side of the page. However, we have hundreds of other themes that will fit what you need:

  Off the top of my head, here are a few themes that are centered:

  Isola: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/isola/
  Kelly: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/kelly/
  Ryu: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/ryu/
  Tonal: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/tonal/

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
