need to add website under exisitng blog
-
can website come under a blog or does a blog come under a website?
have a blog already. don’t want to change it to domain.
can I add a domain within existing blog?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
To add a new blog, go to https://wordpress.com/my-blogs/
To add a custom domain to an existing WordPress.com site (so your address is yourblog.com rather than yourblog.wordpress.com) you will need to register a domain and then map it to your WordPress.com site.
For more information on how to do that, see http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/register-domain/

Hello
Thank you.
What I meant was, I want to retain my present blog (which caters to varied topics). Call this blog 1.
I also want to add another blog 2 dedicated to my novel.So if I want both blogs under one roof, do I have to convert my blog 1 into a custom domain first; and then add blog 2?
or do I add blog 2 and then convert both to custom domain together? -
I think you can do – your-site.com with domain mapping
Then do novel.your-site.com – by mapping a sub domain
You should be able to do it here

Great! Thank you.
1. Will I lose out on wordpress support forums if I convert to custom domain or am I still open to asking for help?2. also, When I publicize my novel, I would want traffic to be directed to novel sub-domain directly. That is where I will have all posts, reviews, book cover downloads, book trailers etc.
In that case, should I give main domain url or sub-domain url on business cards?
3. Will followers of main domain automatically get added as followers of sub-domain? -
1) the nature and hosting of the blog doesn’t change. It’s like you have a house, and you just build another door. It’s still the same house, but you can get to it two ways.
2) I would suggest forgetting a subdomain and creating an entirely new site, but if you want to do a subdomain, I suggest you put the URL you want to publicize on your cards. For me, I’d put the main URL and make a very large, clearly-defined link to the novel subdomain. I am assuming the website encompasses your whole business of which the novel is a subset. If the novel is your whole business, put the subdomain on it.
3) No. If it’s a separate blog, rather than just a separate category, they will have to subscribe to it separately.

Thank you very much.
I am just exploring all possibilities. In that case, if I make a page for ‘blogs’ (which covers all my posts of blog 1) and add another page ‘novel’, will that save me from collecting new followers all over again?
I read that I can add more than one page and display page names at top of my theme screen. -
If I were you I would use categories and do this; http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/posts-on-pages/
That way your original URL gets a big SEO boost, so you and your novel show up better in search engines. And you don’t split the novel away from the site, but you make all the novel-related stuff very easy to find.
