Where do I go?
-
I am new to WordPress and going to attempt to build a website. I did create a domain but have no idea where it is. I’m sure there’s some help out there, don’t want to waste your time asking dumb questions, but wonder if there’s white papers in this forum as other forums often have with helpful tips.
I’m not really sure what this website is for, although I can access themes and assume I can get one to website status.

OK, figured out my first lesson. wordpress.com is a blog!! I mistakenly thought .com was for websites, but I think .org is website? Right? Question now is I created a “domain” somewhere but cannot find it. As long as I have one I might as well use it. I promise last question if the solution is too difficult.

Here’s the situation form our end. We aren’t mind readers and until your provide a link starting with http:// to the site you created we can’t help you. Is this older blog yours? http://jackyso.wordpress.com/

Blogs are just a type of website. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-do-i-get-started-on-building-a-web-not-a-blog?replies=3#post-1025190

Buying a domain name is not necessarily the same as buying a domain name with hosting. It can be confusing because many of the companies who provide hosting will also provide the opportunity to just buy a domain name.
Did you pay for both a name and for hosting?
If you bought only the domain name, then you can use it here on wp.com with free hosting. The software needed to set up a site (or a blog) is also free here.
To use your domain name here you will need to pay for domain mapping, but that is only $13 (??) per year.

Thanks for your posts, I want to get a website, not a blog, since I’m pretty new to wordpress, I made a few mistakes. I do have a blog in blogspot, been there for 3 years.
I finally realized the difference between .com and .org and it seems .org is where I need to go. I did create something in .com but cannot find it. I didn’t pay for anything. It’s a big mess and I’m sorry for taking your time. thanks raincoaster, I’ll check your link.

Okay, so now viewing raincoaster’s link I can create a website, sort of. This is what makes me crazy…
