  I created a wordpress.com site – standrewparkville.org.wordpress.com in order to take advantage of wordpress features for the existing site standrewparkville.org, but I am at a loss how to get the two sites to communicate. I am currently trying to install an ftp.

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

  Hi there,
  To connect your site, you can create a sub-domain like blog. standrewparkville.org of your root domain standrewparkville.org, and then map this sub-domain to your WordPress blog(standrewparkville.org.wordpress.com).

  And then create an hyperlink on your main site with the text BLOG which is linked to blog. standrewparkville.org, like this:
  <a href="blog. standrewparkville.org">BLOG</a>
  So that your viewers can reach your blog by clicking on that link.

  Follow the instructions given here to map a sub-domain to your WordPress site:

  Hope this helps :)
