  Great! One more question; how can I determine the type of site I already have (blog/website/etc) so I can set up the new account in the same manner? Or does it matter? In other words, if I set up the new account as a blog and transfer the old site to it, will the nature of the old site be retained or do I risk losing information if I do not choose consistent types?

  Hi thymeworks,

  From my understanding (I’m only a volunteer, not a staff), it won’t matter how you initially set up your new account.

  Be sure to follow the steps clearly here once the new account is ready to receive the blog. – https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/.
