  My word press site has been hosted on a different site. I can now switch to word press. How do I do this? Also, my current site opens, but I can not get to the backside to edit. Other old sites are opened when I login. How do I change this?

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

  At present, you’re logged in as carolynahicks100, the owner of carolynahicks100.wordpress.com, so you should not be experiencing an issue with access.

  If you are still having a problem, let me know, and we can take the next troubleshooting step, once I get more feedback.

  Yes I am still experiencing an issue. This login offers me two old websites that I do not use and can be deleted. If cahicksconsulting.com is loaded as the url you will see a different websie.

  Thanks, Carolyn

  If you want to permanently delete your sites, follow the guide below:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/

  Please read the warnings and advice before deleting a site, as we can’t revert a site deletion for any reason.

  If you want to hide your site instead, you can use the following guide to make your site private so only you and other members of the site can view it when logged in:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  In regard to cahicksconsulting.com, this Domain Mapping Upgrade is associated with a different WordPress.com user account, not carolynahicks100.

  If you own this other account and would like to set cahicksconsulting.com as your site’s Primary Domain, you can do so here (must be logged into WordPress.com as the user that owns the Upgrade to view):

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  HI
  Ok – thanks for all of your input. If I wanted to have someone at wordpress switch the hosting and now have WordPress host my site instead of Network Solutions, please tell me how to do this and I’ll be glad to pay to have them switch it. Also, I want to pay to upgrade my template.
  Thanks, Carolyn
