  I don’t understand the $18 fee. It first says it’s free, then asks for $18. I don’t understand.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It’s an option you can choose or not.

  The basics are free.

  Just continue without checking the option to buy the domain mapping. You do not need it. If you make a mistake and accidentally check it use your brower’s back button before you fill out credit card information.

  But you don’t need to in order to have a blog on wordpress.com.
