  Ok so I’ve been trying for more than an hour and going round in circles.
  No matter where I start or what I pick, I cannot set up a wordpress.com free site.

  I start from the pricing page, pick free site (i’m happy with the .wordpress.com extension on the URL) but as I follow through all the steps, there is no option to select a .wordpress.com URL and no option to get a free site.
  I keep getting directed to the personal account at $4 a month.

  No matter what I try, I always end up at that $4 a month page.
  I’ve got free sites in the past so what’s up this time, why is it impossible to follow that free option.

  Can anyone help?

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

  Hmm, sorry, that blog is not one I need help with. That blog is one I already have. I’m trying to set up another like it and can’t get it to work.

  Oh I see. It’s all to do with the type of site I pick. If I pick the top option, share photos, experiences etc, no free.
  If I pick educational site I can get the free one. How weird.
