Want a web site, not a blog site, how do I do it?
-
How can I make my site a web sit, with the http://www.gunsgearandgame.com address? I can see having a blog attached to the web site as I feel it is important. But I want people to be able to find the site easily as a dot com site.
web site, name of site, extension,
Also, how do I get an article off the home page and listed into a catagory on the site?

As far as “getting an article off the home page and listed into a category” all posts will show up on the main dynamic blog page. You can assign categories to posts, and then put the categories widget into the sidebar and then people can click on those categories to get to only the posts in that particular category.
You can even create a custom menu and add the category to the top navigation on the site if you wish.
If you do not want any posts showing on the main page, create a static front page. If you do not want a traditional blog page that lists all your posts in reverse chronological order (newest at top) then do not create a blog or post page.

Well, I think I got the About page as a static page but not the Home page as yet. I was able to make a home page, thanks. Is making a static page the only difference between a web site and a blog site? How will I be able to put advertisers on the home page and other pages and always have them there no matter what they are looking at?

WOAH there. In a nutshell free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM cannot be used to drive traffic to third-party sites by means of advertising and/or affiliate programs (see next section for more clarity). E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on wordpress.COM blogs. No retailing or reselling the work created or services provided by anyone other than yourself is allowed.
Affiliate marketing blogs
The only exceptions with regard to affiliate links are found here:Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (“Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). This includes multi-level marketing (MLM) blogs and pyramid schemes. To be clear, people writing their own original book, movie or game reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category. http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
Advertising
I am sorry, but advertising is not allowed on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. The only exceptions are for high traffic blogs that qualify for and are accepted into the Ad Control program, and very high traffic blogs that qualify and are accepted into the paid VIP hosting program.

http://vip.wordpress.com/If you require an ecommerce site, advertising and/or affiliate links on your blog, you can hire a web host and get a free software install from http://wordpress.org In that case, please see the information at the link below to learn about the differences between free hosted WordPress.com blogs and WordPress.org software installs for self hosting. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
