    My college recommendation was to use WordPress, and they said it would be free, however, it appears that I will be charged for the use and I don’t have the funds, currently.

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    Hi there!

    You can have a free site here at WordPress.com, but we do limit what you can do with those sites.

    Most sites on WordPress.com use a shared environment, meaning that they all run the same software. This is great because it allows us to update millions of sites at the same time. It means we can fix bugs or offer new features very quickly, which is a win for you as users.

    However, running multiple sites on the same software can also be dangerous. If we aren’t careful, one site can be used to take down the entirety of WordPress.com. This is why we limit some of the things you can do with your site without upgrading to one of our paid plans. For example, installing plugins or themes is one of those things and requires a Business or higher plan to use those on your site.

    Can you let us know what you’re trying to set up on your site where you’re being prompted to upgrade? Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise.

    Thanks!
