  Hi,
  I created a free blog last week. Shopping for website themes and am unsure if the templates WP offers are for only blogs or e-commerce. Maybe I’m thinking about this too hard. The deeper I go, the less clear it is to me.
  Can you link me to website themes, please? And, show me how to embed my blog into the website theme, please.
  Thanks!
  Stephanie

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

  Hi!
  If you are talking about your blog at WordPress.com, you have lots of themes to pick from. Some are designed for blogs & others are for more-typical websites. https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/staff-picks/

  When you find a theme you like, this page tells you how to activate it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/. Different themes have different ways to incorporate your blog (in a sidebar or on the homepage, etc.). Once you activate a theme, you can click the theme’s name in your site footer and go to a page that gives details on how to set it up properly. For example, here’s the page for your current theme: https://wordpress.com/themes/hemingway-rewritten/

  You can add PayPal buttons, but other than that, WordPress.com doesn’t really offer any ecommerce tools. If you need a full-blown shopping cart, you will need to switch to self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org).
