  Hi,
  I´m about to have a course on how to run a blog. And were going to use wordpress as our blogging tool. My students will have to sign in and create their first blog. But when I tried to do this, both today and yesterday, it was impossible to create a new blog.
  I first tried to create a blog without choosing to test the upgraded version, just only the free one. But nothing happends when I push the button to create a new blog, after writing all of the information in the required fields.
  Then I thought that It might not be possible to start a blog without testing the free trial period, so I tried to sign up for that one. Then I came one step further and was able to fill in my credit card no. But after that I wasen´t able to get to the next step.

  Have you any information on why this happends? I about to get a bit worried, because my students need to sign up for a blog. Otherwise my course will be cancelled.
  Best regards
  Helena

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

  Hey Helena,

  Sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced. I tried signing up for a new account and free blog and had no trouble doing so. Can you kindly tell me what happens when you click the “Create Blog” button? My initial guess would be that the password you entered was not being accepted. Can you please go back and create a new account again by following this guide —

  If the problem persists, can you take a screenshot of the signup page and upload it to your Media Library to help me investigate?

  Thank you!
