  In the past I’ve been able to create a free blog as a subdomain on wordpress.com (like myblog.wordpress.com) Is that not an option anymore?

  Hello,

  The option is still there. If you are not able to find that, follow the link below.

  Hello. I found free hosting but it’s .home.blog . Is it no longer possible to do .wordpress.com ?

  Hello @thegayinternational,

  This has been asked by many users earlier too. I was following this thread by @musicdoc1, where she has asked about the same thing.

  I am quoting @justjennifer here from that thread,

  clicking the Continue button on the first step at https://wordpress.com/start/about without filling out the questionnaire or ticking any of the check boxes should bring up a free .wordpress.com address option. It will appear below the paid domain options and may have a bunch of numbers after the keyword or if the name isn’t available it will offer the .home.blog option.

  Please check out that thread. It’s a bit long but worth reading.

  Hope this answers your query.

  Let us know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
