  Hi, Sara.

  Here’s information on how to add a custom domain for your site.

  Domains

  Also, here’s a good discussion of the difference between posts and pages. If you want your site to be more static content (like a traditional site) than a blog, it might be helpful

  Pages vs. Posts

  Please reply back if you need more information, or it this wasn’t what you were looking for.

  You need to first register the domain name – then domain map it – cost $18.-/yr – add I think $8.-/yr if you want the privacy option (hides your personal info from the internet)

  Is this a want a website and not a blog question? Sometimes bloggers think the structure will magically change if they purchase a domain.
