created blog on blue host
-
I registered my domain on Blue Host and then use their site to download WordPress and build my blog. But it seems that my site is missing quite a few abilities on the dashboard/builder (cant even see stats of the blog). WordPress is also telling me that I don’t have an account…so I set one up using my gmail and my blog isn’t link to it. I am really confused and definitely not a tech person. Help please!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Howdy!
You’ve reached support for the free blogs hosted at WordPress.com. The site you’ve indicated is running a self-hosted/installed version of WordPress (using the free WordPress.org software), hosted by Bluehost.
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. You can read more about that here:
We do offer tools for helping to make your WordPress.org experience as awesome as WordPress.com. Jetpack supercharges your website with features like easy video embedding, stats, and Twitter and Facebook sharing tools. VaultPress provides realtime, continuous backup and scans your website for security and performance. More information on both can be found at these links:

WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
In particular, I recommend starting here:

If you’re interested in a simpler setup, I can help you customize a blog here on WordPress.com and map your purchase domain to that site instead. Self-hosted sites offer a lot in terms of access and customization, but getting everything setup can be difficult if you’re new to creating websites.
Best,
