  I have a free blog – http://www.coolwords.wordpress.com
  I have a paid & hosted website on wordpress – idesigngyan.com

  I want to transfer the free blog to the blog pages of my paid website.

  How do I do this? Do I have to do this manually or is there a plug in?

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

  Hi @wordjolt, you can export the content from coolwords and import it into the other site if you’d like so they’re all blended together. The coolwords posts could go on a Blog page, and they’d be laid out something like this:
  https://canapedemo.wordpress.com/news

  If that works for you, here’s how to export:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/export

  And here’s how to import:
  en.support.wordpress.com/import

  Let us know if you need help with that!

  Thanks, I tried this.
  But after exporting to my hosted domain; I am not able to show the blog as a part of my site.
  That is I want to display the blog as a page on my existing site – idesigngyan.com
  It does not show unless I manually copy paste the content

  I want to display the page in the same manner as the page News on the demo link that you shared. Do I have to disable the current blog?

  Ah! Try going to My Site > Customize > Front Page and choose to make “Blog” your posts page.

  Let me know if you need more help from there.

  Perfect. Check your media library (you can see it if you click the “add media” icon in a post) to be sure all of your images came through, and if you need any more help, let us know. Cheers!
