  I don’t use my website to continue paying $150+/year for it. Can I convert it in a free blog?

  Hi @andelin86, free sites are always an option, depending on the features you need. Regarding the conversion process, can you send a link to your site?

  Thanks for the additional info!

  You can move your site to WordPress.com by following our guide here: https://wordpress.com/support/import/#import-content-from-another-word-press-site

  Importing your content to a free WordPress.com site will not move your theme or plugins, but the good news is we already offer a similar theme to the one you are using now: https://wordpress.com/theme/olsen

  You can activate that theme on your site and your imported content will populate the template so there will be little in the way of setup tasks for you. You may need to set your header logo again as well as widgets and a few other theme settings at most.

  Or you can take the opportunity to switch to a new theme, of which we offer quite a few pre-installed here: https://wordpress.com/themes/

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
