  Hi and welcome to WordPressdotcom.

  Here’s a few resources to get you started:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/start/
  https://learn.wordpress.com/ and you’ll find a glossary there https://learn.wordpress.com/glossary/
  https://dailypost.wordpress.com/blogging-university/blogging-fundamentals/

  Unless you paid for an upgrade Plan, you are using the totally free version of WordPressdotcom. If you want to know what each Plan includes, you can find that here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  If you want to buy a custom domain name or connect a domain name that you already own to your site here, you would need to buy at least the Personal plan to do so. Each plan needs to be renewed annually.

  Let us know if you need help with anything else.

  I also see that you’ve created a number of threads on the same topic, so I’ll go and close those so we can keep the conversation going on this single thread.
