  Hi
  I currently have two word press sites ( free accounts) which I am in the process of re-vamping dramatically , I would like to do the following:

  1) change the domain names for both (a &b)
  (a) I use this site to blog about my journey since graduating ( general blog topics)
  and
  (b) I use this site as a on portfolio and CV to show case to potential employers and show example on my work ( design work) and writing ( industry related posts) ( I work within marketing)

  2) I would like to make one an official domain name with out the use of ( wordpress.com), therefore after I have changed my domain name for (b) to my new name I would like to make that a non free plan.

  3) I would also like to find a way to link my wordpress (a) from (b) as I use the sites for two different purposes .

  4) My fourth question is whether it would be a better idea to combine the two into one registered domain and start fresh, as I currently do not have an anudience or followers etc.

  Any advice and help is much appreciated.
  :)

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

  Hi there,
  I would suggest you buy a domain for one of your sites and use the subdomain of that domain to link to your other site. You can find more information here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-subdomain/

  Hi

  Thank you for your reply, I will definitely consider this. However I do have one question?

  When I use a sub-domain that links from my main domain site, how would this look like on my main site?

  E.g Do you happen to know of any sites/blogs that currently link a sub-domain from their main domain site.

  I would just like to see how it looks overall when it’s done.

  Thank you
