  I want to remove my blog and get a website instead.

  Goal- to remove the blog, get a website and keep my domain.

  I did email wordpress and they did not help at all.

  Is this possible?

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

  Yes, your WordPress.com website can have a have a static home page for a “website” presentation.

  See the steps’to set your static home page here.:

  If you decide later that you would like to add a blog page, you can do so.:

  Your site already looks like a website to me. Have you investigated the details of your theme: https://wordpress.com/theme/dara

  It does have a website look but everything is in blog- such as settings, adding a page, etc. I can’t remove the date on the side of the picture on the front page due to it being a blog.

  themagicrobot- I was starting to look into my theme but was more worried about my domain disappearing and not having it. I can build a website with no problem. I just never went from a blog to a website.

  I don’t think it makes any difference if you call your site a “website” or a “blog” . You just keep experimenting with it until you’re happy with it. If you have the Premium plan you can remove the date using custom CSS. https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#custom-css
