  I keep asking for help but no resolution. My website is http://www.alexishigginbotham.com. I created it with iWeb. I like iWeb. I don’t need anything fancy. It works for me. I, however, stupidly took someone’s suggestion to look into WordPress. I fould a theme I liked, thinking I could use it when I am good and ready to try to create a new website with WordPress. But now what happens is that you’ve railroaded me and when people type in my website, they get directed to you, not to my REAL website. Now the only way I can send my website address to people so they get my REAL website is to give them this address so they don’t go to the blank WordPress website: http://www.alexishigginbotham.com/ceramic_art.html

  If I don’t get any help I will just trash the whole thing. This is way too much trouble and headache. I’ll look for something simpler elsewhere. Harumph.

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

  On this support forum we provide support for only free hosted WordPress.com blogs like this one http://alexishigginbotham.wordpress.com/
  There are over 230 themes available for use on that blog and on all free hosted WordPress.com blogs and they are found here > http://theme.wordpress.com/ As there is no FTP access there is no ability to upload any third party theme to any free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  re: Not Found on the front page of alexishigginbotham.wordpress.com

  Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.

  If you wanted to use your domain name on your free hosted WordPress.com blog you could do that. These instructions are for those who already have a domain that they registered elsewhere, and now want to map that domain to a free hosted wordpress.com blog. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  If you do not want to do that then change the nameservers back so they point to your iWeb site.
