  Hello!
  I just finished migrating my old Godaddy hosted business website to WordPress using my regular URL http://www.ecologiclandscape.com. My new WordPress site has a list of writings on the right hand side bar that I called my “blog” and migrated my old blog content to. What a lot of work! However, in looking for a reliable/handy/makes-sense URL to direct people to my new WordPress website “blog” I ended up signing up for an entirely separate WordPress blog, which looks suspiciously like a whole new WordPress website itself and (and this is the sad part) is NOT linked to my real website. :( I am quite confused, as I can’t find any information about why I have two “blogs” on WordPress nor how I can merge them or something so that I can achieve my reasonable goal of:
  Having my newly WordPress-y website feature my awesome blog. I should think that there is a simple and easy solution to this newbie problem just waiting to be discovered by me or who knows, perhaps the WordPress community as well?
  Anyhow, please please help. Thank you!

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

  Sounds like you’ve got an external website with WordPress.org software and accidentally managed to get a WordPress.com blog as well.

  I appreciate the link for seeing that my website blog is working. I’m still confused as to what I can do to merge the second blog (the one i created after creating my website adn that is separate) and the website. i thought about what i am aiming to do essentially, and i basically want my website blog to be as cool as my newer, separate wordpress blog. Any ideas on that? Thank you again!
  website is http://www.ecologiclandscape.com
  blog is http://permazombie.wordpress.com/

  @Raincoaster, I am just getting used to this, and I see that there is just one thread. I wanted to thank you for that explanation and ask you since I’m so new for clarification: My website is the wordpress.org one and the separate blog I created is the wordpress.com one, it sounds like; so I think what remains of my question is then how to understand and use easily the crazy “pretty URL” function with my wordpress.org website so I can mimic the usability of the wordpress.com blog (for repostings and permalinks, etc.)? Thank you!!

  We can’t help you with WordPress.org questions; you’ll need to seek answers over there in their support forum. They will know how to use the pretty URLs, but I think they’re built into the latest version of WP.org software.
