  I am starting a blogging website and I am creating my domain. I see the free option and then the next option down is annual. What is the difference if I pay or do not pay?

  You can view all the differences in the plans here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/ If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you will see a list of all the differences.

  It also depends how important it is to you to have a standalone domain name. With a free account your domain name will be http://yourdomain.wordpress.com vs with a paid plan you could create your own standalone domain such as http://yourdomain.com

  I hope this helps!
