  I thought WordPress had a free version. I created an account but it’s forcing me to choose to buy a domain and then I’m assuming I’ll be forced to pay for a subscription. What happened to the free version?

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  There is a free option if you choose a site with a subdomain address ending in .wordpress.com. If you want any other address a paid plan is required.

  OK, thanks but, how/where do I get that. I do not see the option in either location to just use the free option.

  Do you see “start with free” front and centre of this link?
  https://wordpress.com/pricing/
  Remember to fiddle with the first offered free address to reduce the numbers after the words you choose for your site address.

  Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for.
