Can't create new blog: "checking" runs non stop
-
When I try to create a new blog, I enter the NAME in the box “NAME.wordpress.com”. There appears a message “Checking” with a spinning wheel. This does not resolve and remains “checking” indefinitely.
This is the case in Chrome and Firefox
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

(d) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
Add both *.wordpress.com and *.wp.com to your list of trusted sites under the Security tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.” http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions
