  Hi there @realfoodrightmeow, are you hoping to host the site with us? If so, start here:
  https://wordpress.com/start

  It will say the domain is taken already if you bought it at GoDaddy just barely, but you can map it for now:

  Then you can transfer later if you’d like:

  You’re also welcome to run your own WordPress installation if that suits you:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Let us know if you have more questions!
