  Hi Everyone,

  I have an active WordPress blog/website. I need to get another theme to create an additional site for a separate division of our company. How do I do this? Do I need to log out and start all over?

  I’m afraid if I “activate” a new theme while logged in that I’ll convert my current site!

  Thanks so much,

  Laura

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

  Yes, if you activate a new theme while logged in you will convert your current site.
  If you mean you want to create a new site under the same account, you go to My Blogs in your dashboard sidebar and click Register Another Blog.

  One more question, pana, now that I’ve got you here and you’re being so helpful. : )

  I just want to make sure, if I choose a wordpress.com address, I can convert it to a .com later when I’m ready to redirect my url, correct?

  Thanks again!

  Provided you purchase a domain mapping ugrade, any .wordpress.com subdomain URL can be mapped to a domain now or in the future.
