  I’ve just set up a free site on wordpress.com at https://sel4usmessagebank.home.blog/. When I press the Launch Site button, the page flashes briefly but the Launch Site button is still there. When I access the URL without being logged in, I get a “Something awesome is coming” placeholder page.

  I’d appreciate any advice on how to get this site launched. Thanks!

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

  Hi There,

  Have you verified your account yet? kokkieh explains this in another thread that is linked below.

  Everyone else who posted in this thread, the only thing that will prevent you from launching a site is if your WordPress.com account is not verified yet. When you created your account we sent you an email with a link. Click that link to verify your site, and you’ll be able to launch your site.

  If it still won’t work, please clear your browser cache or try another browser.

  Hope that helps!

  Hi there,

  I’ve made an adjustment on our end and your site is now launched.

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you. I’m happy to help.
