  Hi, I’ve got my domain name thru Bluehost, but when I log into WP my site name is not showing at the top of each page. I have read through the Easy WP Guide and googled but can’t find out how. My website is not showing anywhere on google either.

  The Easy WP Guide is about wordpress.org which differs from the wordpress.com platform.
  But first things first: what is the URL of your site and is your Bluehost domain connected to your wordpress.com site over here?

  Hi, oh dear, I didn’t know there was a difference. I began my WP journey last week but am struggling to get started!
  My URL is letsdiscoverit.org. I logged on to Bluehost and can see things have been verified, I’ve got my log in details etc from Bluehost.
  When I log into WordPress it has my admin name on the top right, but not the website name on the top left.
  It seems like I’m doing a blog, but I really wanted a website.
  I appreciate any help from you :) thanks very much

  Your site is running on the Bluehost servers and uses the open source wordpress.org. Your account here on the wordpress.com platform has nothing to do with your site on Bluehost.
  So to access your site you must use the login credentials Bluehost gave you.
