  Hi there,

  You’ll be able to create a blog and make it on any subject you like. Steps to creating and starting a blog are outlined below:

  To start a new site, go to My Site. There will be a page saying ‘You don’t have any WordPress site yet’ with an option to create one. Select this and you can create a new site.
  Alternatively, you can create a new site by going to https://wordpress.com/start/.
  There’s a support post on this: https://wordpress.com/support/start/

  If you want a free site, there are one or two options for free domain names, listed under the recommended domain name. When you are asked to select a plan, there is an option to have a free plan at the top of the page.
  (You can also publish the site for free. When you go to make your site live, it will ask again if you want to buy a domain name or a plan, but there are options to skip the purchase.)
  If you want to try out features of the paid plans, that will require you to upgrade, but WordPress offers a full 30-day refund on all plans if you aren’t happy with it. You can read more about plans here: https://wordpress.com/support/plan-features/

  Once you’ve made a domain name and started your website, there will be a list of steps on the My Home page to do with setting up your website.

  If you want to edit what’s written on a page, go to My Site > Site > Pages and select the page you want to edit.
  There’s a support post on this: https://wordpress.com/support/pages/#edit-a-page
  If you want to go to the Customiser, you can go to My Site > Design > Customise. If you want to change a theme, go to My Site > Design > Themes.
  The support post about customising your website is https://wordpress.com/support/customize/.
  You can also check out video tutorials on customisation at https://wordpress.com/support/video-tutorials/customize-your-site/
  There are also other video tutorials to have a look at:
  https://wordpress.com/support/video-tutorials/

  Or look at the support pages on setting up a site:
  https://wordpress.com/support/five-step-website-setup/ (also https://wordpress.com/support/five-step-blog-setup/)
  Also have a look at https://wordpress.com/learn/.

  If you have any further questions, ask in the forum, or search for an answer on the Support page: https://wordpress.com/support/. If you have a Business or eCommerce plan, you can access live chat support: https://wordpress.com/support/live-chat/

  Just a reminder that this forum is for WordPress.com hosted websites. If you use the open-source WordPress software, you’ll need to go to their forum to get help: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
  If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the WordPress software you can read the support post:
  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  I hope this helps!
