  I thought I was creating a blog, but it’s a page, which is still confusing. How do I transfer the page to being a blog? Also, do I have two different sites? I am confused as to why I have kellyscampingtales.com then my blog URL is newamperkelly. Please explain if I have two and how to make only one.

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

  Hi Kelly!

  I thought I was creating a blog, but it’s a page, which is still confusing. How do I transfer the page to being a blog?

  I took a look at the front page on your site, and am seeing your latest posts displayed:

  http://kellyscampingtales.com/

  A blog is essentially a collections of posts, which is what I’m seeing when visiting your site. :)

  If you’d like some further details on the key differences betweens posts and pages, we have some really helpful documentation here:

  Pages vs. Posts

  I am confused as to why I have kellyscampingtales.com then my blog URL is newamperkelly. Please explain if I have two and how to make only one.

  You have one blog. WordPress.com blogs are free by default, and you registered yours with the following address: newcamperkelly.wordpress.com. This is the address you’ll see when logged into your blog’s WP Admin.

  It’s possible to purchase plans and custom domains to enhance WordPress.com blogs, and you purchased kellyscampingtales.com for yours. This means that visitors to your site will only ever see kellyscampingtales.com in their browser, they won’t see the underlying, free WordPress.com address.

  My colleague, Robyn, made this fun info-graph which further explains the connection between your custom domain and WordPress.com site address:

  

  Hope this helps to clarify things! Let me know if you have any extra questions, I’ll be happy to assist further.

  Thank you very much, I will check out the videos. I tried copying the entire page from the “page” and pasting it into a new blog. It worked! Photos at all. Just saying that so others might learn that they can do it too. Thanks again.
