  Each website is a blog. You cannot embed blogs ie websites within blogs.

  You can create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#1-create-a-custom-menu and add a custom link into it to any other site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links

  http://ascotspeakers.org.uk/ is wearing a very old retired theme. Themes are retired when they no longer support all WordPress.COM features. The recommendation is to switch to a newer theme.

  Browse 14 White + Light + Two Columns + Responsive Layout + Business + Light WordPress Themes here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/white+light+two-columns+responsive-layout+business/?sort=free

  re: switching themes

  Note that switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the site. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do a lot of work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme with different features and/or if you have done any CSS editing.

  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.

  The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.

  Thanks for your reply timethief.
  The original question should have read
  ‘How can I import a blog posting from a contributing private admin user who wants to put a posting on my blog on my website?’
  Apologies for the error.
