  Hello,

  Please help me, I am soo confused!

  I have an existing free blog on WordPress. I purchased a host package from iPage. My domain is registered through iPage. How can I “add” my host information on WordPress.org? I am not familiar with creating websites.

  I wish to remain on WordPress but self hosted so I can add affiliate information.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are complete separate and different. Read this please http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
