  Apologies if I was supposed to find the answer – just scared I make a mistake.

  If i have an existing Blog – how do I create a website from it? Does the name remain the same? How do I link the Blog?

  I got to the part of My Sites – Add New WordPress, but the option is add another blog, not website.

  Thank you very much for your time

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

  Hi there,

  Every day we get new people who do not understand that a blog is a website posting here. This is all semantics and blog structure.

  A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.

  What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.

  Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  Here’s a link to my step by step post too http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/07/25/create-a-wordpress-website-step-by-step/
