Signing up for a blog issues?
-
I want to sign up for a blog but you keep trying to give me websites. I also want my blog to be called bostonsportsrealist.wordpress.com (free version) without numbers. In the past it’s always added numbers and refused to let me use just use the name I signed up for.
Thanks if you can help.

Hello there,
here is a link to read on how to get and differentiate between a website and a blog
https://wordpress.com/support/do-i-need-a-website-a-blog-or-a-website-with-a-blog/I also want my blog to be called bostonsportsrealist.wordpress.com (free version) without numbers.
it looks like this URL is already in use, if this is not yours maybe try contacting the owner of the site to ask if they are okay transferring the site to you.
bostonsportsrealist.com
is available for purchase if you are interested in bagging this domain .

It’s MY website. I am the owner of it but I want my blog to not have numbers and nothing I do can change it. HELP

I appreciate the help, really but this wasn’t what asked.
I want to sign up for a blog and it won’t let me make one without the stupid numbers. I own the wordpress bostonsportsrealist.wordpress.com but I just want the blog of the same name WITHOUT numbers but it literally won’t let me. Sigh
bostonsportsrealist.wordpress.com

You can’t have 2 blogs with the same URL. That why your second blog gets those numbers added.

Ok then. You already have the site on your account, what you do with it next will determine if you are going to set it up as a blog or as a website.
To turn the site into a blog this is all you need to do, pick a theme, set your homepage to show your latest posts, and then add some customization if you want just as referred to in this guide I posted earlier https://wordpress.com/support/do-i-need-a-website-a-blog-or-a-website-with-a-blog/#setting-up-a-word-press-blog
you cannot have two separate sites with the same URL address you also cannot delete that URL on that site you have launched already because once you do you cannot get it back. if you intend to keep the already launched site and make it a website at some point, then you need to settle for a different URL for your separate blog.
or you can have your blog on the website as mentioned in this guide:

Just to add to what has been already said. There are currently two sites under your account:
- bostonsportsrealist.wordpress.com,
- bostonsportsrealist718875484.wordpress.com.
To move between the two sites, you will click on Switch Site, in the left upper corner:
.
If you only want to use one of those sites, you can delete the one with the numbers in the address.
