  Hi @kavyabaisoya,
  
  You can use .blog as a free subdomain on WordPress.com. More details are available in this article:
  https://wordpress.com/blog/2018/11/28/announcing-free-dotblog-subdomains/

  If you’d prefer a free custom domain (not a subdomain), you can get one by purchasing any paid WordPress.com plan. Each eligible plan includes a free domain registration for the first year. You can learn more here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/register-a-free-domain/

  Let me know if you’d like help choosing a plan or setting this up.

  Hi staff, that’s good news. Just about a month ago, another staff member advised that dotblog domains were not available due to a glitch. https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/i-want-to-book-game-blog-but-its-no-longer-available-on-wordpress/#post-4092303

  Has this then been resolved? TIA
