  In order to create a blog, Do I have to set up a domain with this website? I thought I would be able to create a blog without doing that, it seems like a lot just to create a blog. I don’t need a website, I only want to start a blog.

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  A domain name is not required to have a blog here at WordPress.com.

  Here are visual instructions on how to create a free .wordpress.com site:

  

  Step 1: Select email, username, and password.
  Step 2: select Blog for a .home.blog free site or Business for a .wordpress.com site.
  Step 3: Select the Topic of your site.
  Step 4: Type in the Title of site (optional).
  Step 5: Type in the full, exact site address you want including the .wordpress.com or .home.blog subdomain (ex: freeexamplesite.wordpress.com, freeexampleblog.home.blog). The first option should be the free site that you manually typed in. Click select next to that option.
  Step 6: At the very top, click the link that says: start with a free site.

  Then, your free site should be created! Please follow those steps and if you have any questions, let us know.
