    hi, I need to do the following:
    1. set up new word press site for Blog only at this time. This means also deleting my current wordpress sitie. I am in the process of making the new blog now. Questions: if I choose the free blog site for now, can I still do SEO for the image on the blog? I don’t seem to be able to find that field as I am setting it up.

    2. when i move my Blogs for the old site to this new site, can I arrange the order as I want or do I need to upload them in the order that readers will view them?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hi there!

    I’ll be happy to help you with this!

    You don’t necessarily need to delete one site to create another. You can have as many sites as you want on a single WordPress.com account. Please keep in mind that if you want to reuse the same WordPress.com address of your site, you should not delete the site. Instead, you can empty your site by following the instructions here:

    Sometimes you may have a site that you’ve worked on for a while, but you want to start over.

    if I choose the free blog site for now, can I still do SEO for the image on the blog? I don’t seem to be able to find that field as I am setting it up.

    While free WordPress.com sites show up on Google search queries (so search engines do rank them), you get more robust features with an upgraded plan. For example, using your own custom domain will give you an SEO benefit, as you will be able to use tools like Search Console to get insights into your site’s search performance.

    You can register a domain with the WordPress.com Personal plan, which is a great starting point that also removes ads from your site and increases storage space.

    Of course, the ultimate SEO features come with the WordPress.com Business plan, which gives you access to our SEO tools. You can also use third-party SEO plugins to add even more advanced SEO tools to your site.

    By the way, you mentioned you couldn’t “find that field.” Could you tell us exactly which field you were looking for, and where?

    when i move my Blogs for the old site to this new site, can I arrange the order as I want or do I need to upload them in the order that readers will view them?

    You can consider exporting content from the old site and importing them into the new site, so the posts will be published with the original publication date. If you’re publishing manually, you can use dates to get control of the order in which they are published. Blog pages display posts in reverse chronological order (latest post first). So the older the publication date, the further down a post will be.

    Hope that helps! Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.
