  I signed up a domain success wellnes for a blog page, then added bodyconsciouswellness.com for a website page but it gave me another blog page that linked to my first one. So I tried to sign up as a new user for a free domain for a website with the word press domain attached to this message, and it gave me another blog page even though I clicked word press website. How can I get the domain I paid for under my first user name Mikalife with bodyconsciouswellness.com to not be linked to my blog but it’s own seperate website using word press?
  Then I don’t need this one that was just created that is not giving me what I need anyway.

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

  I requested a website and it gave me a blog page. WHY?

  A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.

  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, and as others do not backlink to pages, 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/

  This is an independent site http://successwellness.org/
