  Hi there,

  It seems that your site is still in the “Coming Soon” stage.

  If you want your site to be publicly accessible, you must launch it from
  My Site>Manage >Settings and select Launch Site.

  Please refer to the following documentation to do so:
  https://wordpress.com/support/settings/privacy-settings/#launch-your-site

  Cheers! :)

  Hi. Thanks for that. When I do that it takes me to a page to choose a domain. It says some of them are free, but I was hopeful to find one that would always be free. How do I find that?

  Hi there,

  On that page, there should be an option saying “Skip Purchase”. Click that, and on the plans page you land on next, select the option to continue with the free plan.
