  If I understand correctly, you have a website that’s unrelated to your WordPress.com blog, and you want to show updates from your WordPress.com blog on that unrelated website? If so, you have several options.

  You can map your WordPress.com blog to a subdomain of your current website. For example, if you now have website.com as your website, you can have blog.website.com as your blog. This would mean that visitors that enter blog.website.com in their address bar will actually see your WordPress.com blog.

  This does not include any other integration with your website in terms of navigation or look and feel, though you can later customize your blog’s theme using the Custom Design upgrade to make it look more like your website.

  Read more about this here:

  Another option is to syndicate updates from your WordPress.com blog to your current website. This is not something we can do for you as it would involve changes to your other website, but it’s a fairly standard procedure that almost any CMS should support.

  Your WordPress.com blog already publishes all content in a syndication-friendly format called RSS, and you can show this content on your website as links to your blog. You may want to consult the developers who originally worked on your website if you need more information about this.

  Let me know if this helps – or if you’re actually asking about something else entirely.
