  I created an account but don’t have a site yet. So I go to create one. At the part where it asks me to enter a domain name, I enter myname.wordpress.com. There is NO option to use a free wordpress.com site, only paid options. When did WordPress stop being free?

  You can still create a free site. At step 1 choosing “Blog” will get you the offer of a free .blog subdomain. Choosing “Business” at step 1 should get you an offer of a .wordpress.com subdomain. You can continue to fine tune the offered address before proceding. (Remember to look below the two offers of paid domains).
