  I currently post my blog on my website’s homepage, but I want to have a separate blog (to which I can link through from my homepage). I don’t understand why I have to get involved in ‘domain mapping’ for this, don’t exactly know what it means… Also, can I use my current account at WP, or do I have to pay additional costs?

  Hi there!

  Can you let us know what the URL is of the site where you’re having this problem? Also, if you can clarify which way you want to have them separated, that would be most helpful:

  1. Separate blog on the same website
  2. New website for the separate blog

  Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise.

  Thank you!

  Your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted elsewhere.

  Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  https://wordpress.org/support/ is a great resource for sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  Your hosting provider’s support team may also be able to assist.
