connecting my website with my blog
-
I have had a website for a few years, Now I wish to connect my website with my blog I called FatCow who hosts my website, they tell me I need an ‘A’ record, or a ‘C’ name, I then have to get back to FatCow with this information and they then can redirect whatever it is that needs to be redirected. First of all I have not the least idea what they are talking about, second of all I dont know how to obtain this information. Somebody out there in nether land please help me.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can’t actually do that with a WordPress.com blog, but what you can do is just put a button or tab on your other site that goes to your blog. If you want, you can buy a subdomain for your blog, so the URL would be http://blog.yoursite.com or whatever.

There are many possible things you may mean by “connect my website with my blog”. The most common is having your blog accessed with the domain name of your website and hosted here at WP.com. There is a fee for that because that is really hosting your website here. Look for the domain mapping feature. If you choose to use this feature, it will tell you want the “A record” steps are as “DNS”.
Other options including having the website’s current hosting do what is called “redirect” from your website so it takes visitors there to your blog here. Your hosting provider may charge more for that and/or continue to charge you for hosting there even if all it does is redirect.
Or maybe all you wanted was links in one or both directions?
