  I have never used WordPress before but would like to give it a try. I don’t want to pay a yearly fee of $48 if I end up not figuring out how to use it. Is it possible to try out for a week or two free of charge?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @kleincreative,

  I would definitely try taking advantage of using WordPress on its Free plan before purchasing any of its paid upgrades (especially if you’ve never used WordPress).

  There’s a great “getting started” guide that contains links to useful courses, video tutorials, and much more that will help you get up to speed with WordPress’ core functionality and basic features. You can check that out here:

  Is there any particular feature you saw in the paid plans you were curious about or wanted to try?

  Currently, there are no trial versions for any of the plans WordPress.com offers, but they do have a refund policy, which you can take advantage of if you feel any of the plans aren’t right for you.

  For plans and all other purchases, you must cancel within 30 days of purchase to receive a refund.

  But, as mentioned previously, I would try exploring the free version of WordPress first, learn what it can and can’t do, understand its limitations, and then move on deciding whether or not to try out a paid plan.
