    Hi there, it looks like you’ve done everything right! I’m seeing your WordPress.com site on your domain, as you can see in this screenshot:

    If you don’t yet see that on your side, could you please try clearing your browser cache? Let me know if that does the trick.

    I have unsuccessfully tried to follow the online instructions about downloading an FTP, etc.

    You don’t need to worry about that – FTP is only relevant for self-hosted WordPress sites. There isn’t FTP access with WordPress.com. You can learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.
