  I want to create a wordpress blog here with the free subdomain, but every time I try to make a blog it stops me at the part where I need to purchase a domain with no option to skip and use a free subdomain!

  Also, there is no free subdomain option when I type keywords in on step 5. None. Gone through past support threads and have seen others with the same issue unresolved. Someone please help!

  Never mind, at this point after clearing the cache a few times and changing browsers I am giving up. I’ll put it on my own server

  @sorrelsdogtraining,

  I just tried creating a new site as your account, and I see the free address option right at the top of the list on the domains step:

  

  What option did you select on the very first step, and what search term are you using on the domains step?

  
  @teamworkstrainers,

  Please create your own support request if you also need help with this, and we can take a look at your account: https://wordpress.com/help/contact

  That was not an option on mine — I tried a number of different names to see if it was just that they were already taken as well.

  Teamworks trainers is me, just forgot to log out of a work account. I already set it up elsewhere, thank you for your help though!
