    I am trying to build a personal website showing off my car, dog and a little about myself. I had a weebly site but I am trying to redo it all here with wordpress.
    I would like a main page which would link to different pages and am having problems figuring out how to do that, I also have a couple of domains which the old site used how many can I have this site directed to?
    Weebly does not allow direct transfer.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hey there,

    I would like a main page which would link to different pages and am having problems figuring out how to do that

    No problem. What goals do you have for your site? Right now, I can see you have your site set up to show your latest posts like a blog, and it sounds like that’s not your intent. I can see you’ve selected Morden as the theme. Do you want it to look like this?

    https://mordendemo.wordpress.com/

    That particular theme is older and a bit harder to configure, but we can help if needed. Let us know. You can find a setup guide here.

    Or, you’re also welcome to head to https://wordpress.com/page and choose from the layouts there. You can swap out the pictures, change the text, publish, and then create your other pages the same way. Finally, you would choose one to be the front page and connect them all together with your menu. I would recommend using a newer theme for this method. Any of these could work nicely.

    how many can I have this site directed to

    With a paid plan, you can connect as many domains as you’d like and set one of the custom domains as primary. Then when you type in one address, it would automatically redirect to the main domain.

    A Personal plan would work nicely for that, and it would also get rid of all banner ads and give you direct access to support:

    Also, you mentioned you have been using Weebly. If you’d like to automatically import your content and images, here’s how you can go about that. I’d still recommend using the page layout tools to get the layouts just right. But let us know what questions you have; we’re here to help!
