HOW TO ADD A WEBSITE LINK ON MY BLOG
-
I recently moved my blog from another site to here, hoping it will be easier to use. Cannot figure out how to include a website link on the cover page of my blog that will always appear to readers (happens to be a link to a GPS tracker on our sailboat). Any ideas? FYI, I’m not a techie guy at all so all suggestions need to be simple!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you asking how do I create links in posts and pages? if the answer is yes, then see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/links/
For embedding links in post and pages this is the general link model:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
Highlighted anchor text here1. In the Visual editor type the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “click here” is not a good choice, relevant anchor text matters. ;)
https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/relevant-anchor-text-matters/2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
3. Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.

If, however, you are asking how do I purchase a custom domain URL for my blog please read on.
The prices are found at > Dashboard > Store and here https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
All support docs are at http://support.wordpress.com
You can only purchase one year at a time.
Every upgrade applies to a single blog only and is a one year subscription that requires renewal at years’ end.
All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the domain URLs.
You can simply publish a post providing the new URL to your existing subscribers and ask them to subscribe to the new URL.
Please read Domains: Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain/See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
if you already have a website you don’t want to affect, and you want to add a blog to it under a subdomain (for example, blog.yourgroovydomain.com) see here http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-subdomain/
Your payment methods are here https://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/
Your upgrade history will be here Dashboard > Store> My Upgrades
https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History
https://en.support.wordpress.com/billing-history/After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
