  Hi there, I published a blog on the 8th November and all seemed fine, but having gone back to view it today a page comes up stating that the page is ‘Coming Soon’. As I had confirmation of the blog being published I thought it was live, but am unsure what has happened. Can you help?

  Many thanks,
  Terri

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Many thanks for that; so I think the problem is I didn’t realise I need to pay. I was told that WordPress is free to use; do I have to have a domain to have a public blog?

  You must have ended up with an upgrade in your cart somehow. You should be able to get rid of that by going to https://wordpress.com/checkout/animalwelfarenow.wordpress.com and then:

  – Click “edit”
  – Click trash can icon
  – Confirm the deletion on the pop up

  Let us know if you have trouble.
