  My domain wordnerdthings.com is already purchased and hosted through bluehost. I would like to use the wordpress dashboard to build the site. I already have an account because I previously owned wordnerdthings, but I didn’t have time to work on the little bit that I put together and my purchase expired.

  I purchased it again (with my editingnerds.com bluehost account), and would like to use wordpress dashboard for both wordnerdthings.com and editingnerds.

  Help! What do I do?

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

  Can you clarify what you mean by:

  use the wordpress dashboard to build the site

  Do you mean to say that you want WordPress.com to be linked to that domain or you want to be running WordPress on the site? There is a difference between com-vs-org

  If you install WordPress.ORG software on your Blue Host site you will have a Dashboard that looks almost exactly like the one here.

  Blue Host should have a one button 5 minute install for the WordPress.ORG software, but you need to get support for a WordPress.ORG install at WordPress.ORG

  I think the .com vs .org is probably my problem. Thanks!
