  Dear WordPress Team,

  I recently joined WordPress within the free website creator but ended up as created a Blog, which was not my thought.
  I might have done something wrong.

  Is there any possibility, to switch my registration from Blog to a Website?

  Also only for now, I am using the free feature as I will update my registration later after finishing all the website and the information in it.

  Thanks for quick reply.

  With Regards,
  Barbaros Tilki

  The only relevant support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also linked to on the bottom of your Admin page.

  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/
