  I signed up wanting a website for my artwork, not a blog? Did I go to the wrong place?
  All WordPress refers to is a blog?

  Hi there,

  You are in the right place. A blog is a specific type of website, but you can use WordPress to create a more traditional looking website, including one that is good for displaying your artwork.

  Here’s general info on using WordPress to make a website: http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  There are also themes that are especially good for displaying images. Here are some ideas to get you started: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/search/portfolio/

  Hope that helps. Let us know if you have anymore questions!

  Thanks so much!
  I’m new at this, and the terminology confused me a bit.
  I’ll check out your links!
