  This is the login link http://redtentblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin

  If you want to purchase your own domain then for more details on how domain mapping works read this > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/04/02/do-i-need-a-domain/

  Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog. See here http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  like to create a domain and website

  A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication.

  A website is a page based site designed to operate as a one way means of communication ie. a noticeboard.

  Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based. For greater clarity read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/07/25/create-a-wordpress-website-step-by-step/
  Then see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

  On one hand, none of the characteristic “blog” features like categories, tags, authors, dates, etc. can be removed from a free hosted WordPress.com blog, without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing.

  On the other hand, one can edit a WordPress.org theme free of charge. Read the comparison > WordPress.com and WordPress.org: The Differences http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
