    Hi there,

    Are you wanting to add a new site to your account? If so, you can do so by following the directions here:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-a-new-site-or-blog-to-an-existing-account

    If you are wanting to add a custom domain to a site, you can do so by following the instructions here:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/

    However, I do not see any current domains connected to your site, so I wasn’t sure what you were referring to.

    Please let me know if I understood correctly along with any other ways I can help.

    Thanks,

    Hi, My primary site is billmariaphotos.wordpress.com. I also have added a further 6 sites for rugby, cricket, images etc. I.e. billandmariarugby.wordpress.com. mariaandbillimages.wordpress.com etc.
    I had no problem making them some months ago. Now, as they are full I need to make several new sites for the coming season of rugby
    I do not know about domain names, Ali know is that I have never paid anything whilst using this site. I really do not understand what I am supposed to do. I use light room and photoshop and that is the extent of my computer knowledge,
    I appreciate you trying to help me.

    Hi Maria –

    Thanks for those details. It sounds like you just want to add another free site to your user account. Yes, you can do that. There’s no reason to upgrade or pay if that’s all you need.

    Try this:

    1. Sign in to WordPress.com
    2. Click on My Sites from the upper left hand corner of the dashboard
    3. Click on Manage – Domains – Add New
    4. Type the example of the free site address that you want and select a free one to register to the account.

    Another way to do this, it’s kind of a work around, but try typing the free site address you want in to your browser address bar. Click enter or return. If the site does not exist you’ll see that in the message displayed. There will be a link with an option to register that site address near the top. Use that link.

    Write back if you need more help.

    I have followed you instruction and can make a site but it insists that I pay a monthly fee, I cannot click onto free site. The free domain with a plan upgrade is highlighted in green and I can’t change it
