  Do you have a blog here at wordpress.com? Your username is linked to a myspace URL. Please provide a link to your wordpress.com blog.

  WordPress.com blogs are free, non-commercial blogs and cannot be used to sell things or drive traffic to third party sites.

  It’s important to understand that the only paypal link you can use on a wordpress.com blog is one for donations . You can not use one to set up a shopping cart for people to buy things from you as our wordpress.com blogs are non-commercial blogs.

  It’s also important that you read 7 things to know before posting to the wordpress.com forums and act on them https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=9792

  It sounds to me like you need to hire a web host and download free software from http://wordpress.org and start your commercial blog using it.

  Typing in all capital letters is shouting/yelling in the cyberworld and it is not appreciated any more than it would be if you yelled into the faces of volunteers.

  Please be polite and patient. :)

  So if my company has training materials and class enrollment fees, what is the best was to set up my site? Do I have to create a new site with my host and have a link to that page?

  WordPress.com blog sites are non-commercial. Business cannot be transacted on them through paypal accounts. That means that your best course of action is to hire a web host and download free software from http://wordpress.org where such restrictions do not apply. For clarity:

  Or you could create a new site and link to it via a text link from your WP.com blog, if you already have one. Staff says that’s okay, too.
