  How can I direct people to go directly to WordPress website instead of going straight to the website? Basically WordPress is setup to be a blog for my website. I want to use both WordPress and bluehost as marketing tools.

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

  Hi there!

  I’m not sure I understand what you mean, can you elaborate on that? Also, please make sure you tell us the URLs of the sites you’re working on.

  Dear Fresatomica,
  I have 2 urls:
  mbennettwriting.com (through bluehost.com)
  and
  mbennettwriting.wordpress.com
  WordPress is to be used as a blog and direct people to mbennettwriting.com
  Would I be able to direct people to mbennettwriting.com using the blog?
  Mind you this a startup, I only started a few days ago.
  Any insight would be helpful.
  If you have any ideas, please let me know.
  Thank you,
  Matt

  Hi Matt, you’d be welcome to put your blog and your site together on the same site if you’d like.

  If you want to just link the two sites together through their menus, you can do that, too.

  Otherwise, can you clarify? When someone clicks on a blog article, what would you like your WordPress.com site to do?

  To be a blog for the books I am in the process of writing. And direct people to my website. Basically the WordPress site will be a blog about me and what I am writing. The URL is designed to market myself and provide more detailed information about the books such as cover art and many other details. Mind you this is all a work in process. WordPress is a reputable site, some of my friends use it.
  I hope this clarifies what I am trying to do.
  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  Matt

  You can definitely do that, no rules against it here. :)

  Probably the easiest way to do this would be to add a custom link to your menu: https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  When someone clicks on an article from your blog hosted here, do you want them to see a link to your other site?
