  I’ve been trying to start a blog for weeks, but keep getting an error when I try to select the domain. This is the error message I get:

  Oops! Sorry an error has occurred. Please click here to contact us so that we can fix it. Please remember that you have to provide the full, complete Blog URL, otherwise we can not fix it

  I am unable to ‘click’ here to resolve the problem.

  What is your URL? And where are you trying to register your domain? I mean are you starting a WordPress blog or are you trying to install wordpress on a domain hosted by other hosting websites?

  I am just trying to start a new blog. A brand new blog. With a wordpress URL. That’s free.

  I clicked “Start a site,” which directed me to step 1 of 3, selecting a theme.
  I selected my theme, which directed me to step 2 of 3.
  I search for whiskey and grace. WordPress offers me whiskeyandgraceblog.wordpress.com for free. I select it, which directed me to step 3 of 3. I select the free plan to start.

  Then it redirects me back to step 2, where I receive an error message. I’ve tried multiple combinations of “whiskey and grace.” I’ve looked up several versions of the site which don’t exist. I’m ready to find a new blog host, because I keep getting this error with no explanation.

  Hmm, that’s strange. Try using a different browser. Sometimes it can be your browser causing such issues.

  It looks like the blog https://whiskeyandgraceblog.wordpress.com/ was registered after all, and it ‘s showing as belonging to your account. You should be able to see it on your My Sites page, and you should be able to access the dashboard here:
  https://whiskeyandgraceblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Let me know if you can’t open that link.
