  In part of the screen it says that one year free for a blog…. but when I try to launch this particular site the “cart” never gives that as an option. I have used wordpress before for several blogs and have NEVER had to pay anything. Have things changed? thanks.

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

  It says the domain is free for one year – “Free Domain for One Year” -, not the wordpress.com plan itself, https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Hi there,

  You can still create a completely free site on WordPress.com, but you have to use a .wordpress.com address.

  What you’re referring to is the custom domain (e.g. mysite.com) that is included for free for the first year with the purchase of a paid plan.
