  Hi,
  I’m trying to launch my site, which is currently showing as “coming soon” which I’ve never had trouble with before, but I’m getting directed to a “launch” page that requires me to pay for a domain name.
  How do I get around this and just launch my site for free?

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

  Where exactly are you getting stuck? I presume you’re clicking on “continue with free” next to your free address?

  I got stuck when I saw the site as “coming soon.” So I clicked on “launch your site” button and got stuck on a page where I’m forced to pick a paid plan.

  I did do the “continue with free” when I created the blog.

  After clicking “Launch” you should see your free address but it will be below the offers of paid domains. You click on “skip purchase” next to your free address, click “continue with free” on the next page and you’re done.
