Starting a website for my home business!
-
I already have a wordpress sight for a blog, but it is unrelated to this business. If I go to pages, to set up the new one, it lists my original site. How do I get a sight just for the business?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
See here please: Adding a New Site or Blog to an Existing Account
https://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-a-new-site-or-blog-to-an-existing-accountAlternatively, you can log out, clear your cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies. Then without logging in by using a different email address you can create a separate business username account and register a site under it.

You haven’t stated what your needs are regarding your home business however I can provide some additional information.
There is no secure payments system here at wordpress.COM and you cannot add a shopping cart to sites hosted by wordpress.COM regardless of upgrades. There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugins are allowed for security reasons here at wordpress.COM.
Provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a providing service that you personally provide on a wordpress.COM site, or you are asking for donations you have two options.
(1) PayPal – Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
Note that the PayPal email link is not supported and PayPal customization options are not supported either https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/paypal-button-41?replies=12#post-2517229 This is not likely to be changed any time soon, if at all.Some bloggers create a contact form https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a page and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-visibility/(2) If you set up an eCommerce site somewhere else online you can create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and include a custom link to that site in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links
If what I provided above at (1) and (2) do not suit you, then this guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress where you can set up a secure payment system http://move.wordpress.com

Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/theme/lovecraft / and that’s where set up instructions for it and the live demo site link is found.
A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
