  I started an OLD site years ago, 2011. living left of center. it was not a paid blog. it was just a trial. I don’t want to have it any more. I just began the process of starting a new blog cite. paid for the domain etc. sufferingvegans.com. why is this OLD livingleftofcenter the only thing coming up when I log into wordpress? I need pretty concise directions as I’m 100% clueless, on how to get into and begin my new blog venture under sufferingvegans.com and how to END the living left of center

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

  Hello,

  It looks like the account you created here on WordPress.com is still active (livingleftofcenter.wordpres.com).

  The new website you’ve created, Sufferingvegans.com, has been registered with Bluehost and it is not hosted on WordPress.com. You have a choice whether you’d like to continue with the site on WordPress.org or to use WordPress.com. You can read about the difference between WordPress.org and WordPress.com here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you’d like to use the Bluehost Domain on WordPress.com, here are instructions on how to do that (it does require you purchasing a minimum of a Personal Account Upgrade in order to map the domain): https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/using-your-bluehost-domain-on-wordpress-com/

  With the Bluehost account you may also choose to install WordPress.org in which case you should visit the support/forum for WordPress.org which can be found here: https://wordpress.org/support/

  If you decide to move forward with WordPress.com you can make the new site you primary site and then if you’re sure you do not want to use the other site anymore you can delete it.

  If you decide to keep the new site as WordPress.org and still want to delete the old website (livingleftofcenter.wordpress.com) instructions can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Deleting the old site will be a permanent action so do not do that before you decide how you’d like to proceed.
