  When I set up my new Blog, I accidentally set it up as a WEBSITE rather than BLOG. But I do not want a website. I need to keep the name though. Is there a way to switch it from a website to a blog?

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

  The site linked to your account was set up in 2012 and looks like a blog to me. What is the address of the site you need help with?

  https://jenxtalks.wordpress.com/ looks like a blog to me too. As soon as you start writing some posts they will appear on the Home page.

  It does look like one but it’s not and keeps asking me for my credit card number to map it to my domain, etc. I was going to delete it and start over but it says that if I delete it, I can NEVER use that name again.

  Yes, to map a domain you already own to a WordPress.com site requires upgrading to a paid plan: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
