I can't seem to figure this out, no matter how I try. Can anyone help?
So, right now I have a paid domain website and a blog through Wordpress. Every time I want to update my website, I make the updates, then tell my husband what's new, and he has to go and update everything on his system (long story, trust me).
What I want to do is to have one of the Wordpress sites that's a blog and website combined so I can do everything in one place. So, that means I need to upgrade to the Wordpress.org self-hosting thing, right?
Now, if I want to give that website/blog the same name as the domain I already have, how do I do that? Will my old content go away? Will I not be able to re-use my name? What do I do?
When I do the changeover, I probably need to save my existing blog content somehow so I don't lose it, right? Will I be able to migrate it over to the one that's self-hosted? I keep trying to read things that sound helpful, but they're all blog experts and they talk over my head. I have NO idea what I'm doing.
A cookie for the first smartypants who can explain this so I get it.
