  I don’t know if I’m being greedy, but I’m trying to add another free blog to my existing one (also free): the software only offers me paid ones. What am I doing wrong?

  Hi Daniel, thanks for the prompt answer.
  I did all that you said, and although initially the page says I can choose either a paid domain or a .wordpress.com free blog, whatever name I insert as a blog title it just gives me paid possibilities, whereas I remember when I registered my original blog the first option was free (even when it rejected my first few suggestions).
  I’m not being deliberately mean: I use a top-up credit card for online payments and I keep having problems using it, with time-consuming further trips to the bank that so far have been fruitless….

  The free option are only for domains with “.wordpress.com” at the end. For other type of domain you have to pay for it.

  I’m perfectly happy with a .wordpress.com domain: they just won’t offer it as an option. I tried with random blog names to see if that was the problem, but no dice….

  Thanks for persevering with this, Daniel: I tried again, using your link – they offered me nine possibilities, for either 18 (sorry, can’t remember it was dollars or euros) or 25: still no free .wordpress.com option. Is there any way of getting in touch with a “happiness engineer” if you haven’t got a pay plan?
