  Could I change a page into a post without rewriting it?
  TBH

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

  There is no automatic way do this. For single page to post it’s a copy and paste job. 1st copy into a post and then delete the static page. If the page has comments see here for moving them. Scroll down to Moving Comments for istructions. > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/12/20/wordpress-com-comments-and-discussion-settings/

  I would set the old Page to “Draft” until you are real sure that the move went fine – sometimes I have hacked up the copy and paste and have been real happy when I could go back and recopy the material.

  Sort of belt and suspenders thing.

  Make sure when you do the copy/paste that you do it from the HTML editor. Even if you don’t understand HTML it’s better.

  Thank you so much for responding almost on the spot.I have done this once with the copy/paste procedure you suggested ( without checking if it was from the HTML editor) and it was successful but I thought to myself that there must be a more professional way which I ignored.as I am a real newbie and an amateur blogger .At least now I know .Once again thanks a million !You saved my time…
  Best Wishes from Greece
