  I tried to use BlueHost and was unable to use their themes. It was also very confusing. I would like to sign up with ‘just’ WordPress, but I have an active domain that I would like to use with my account. my domain is- kindlykaradesign.com. I would like to use themes as well with my account. Could someone please help me active an account with my domain what will allow me to use an easy template.

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi @kindlykaradesign, sure. Let us know what your site is about and what it needs to do so we can make a recommendation.

  For the domain, use these steps:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  And just as a summary of that article, first, choose a plan here:
  https://wordpress.com/plans

  Next choose to connect the domain: https://wordpress.com/domains

  Then point your domain to these name servers:
  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  If you need to add other DNS settings before you do that, you can:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/custom-dns/

  Does that help?
