  I was trying to create a free site and due to my arthitis acidently deleted it but as I was never given the codes via email I couldn’t recover it as I wa given no codes
  That user name was shonakatt with email (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  Then I tried to create another one under a different user name same email (email visible only to moderators and staff) but with the new user name of shazkatt

  It went totally wrong as instead of creating a free website I kept getting blogs instead of website and it also kept asking for domain name and choosing the pricing under which no free was listed so I think I did it wrong once more and got into the paid stuff and there seems to be no way to correct it

  I am so confused I have never made this sort of site before in the past I made it offline via a program like Komposer and then simply uploaded it via FTP.

  What the heck do I do now

  Hi Sharon,

  Please don’t post into threads created by other people. I’ve moved your question to its own thread.

  I was trying to create a free site and due to my arthitis acidently deleted it but as I was never given the codes via email I couldn’t recover it as I wa given no codes
  That user name was shonakatt

  Our logs show that account was deleted in May last year. All you’d have needed to do to reverse that would have been to email us from the account’s email address within 30 days. As it’s been several months now, it’s no longer possible to restore that account, though.

  Then I tried to create another one under a different user name same email but with the new user name of shazkatt

  Right, that’s the account you’re using to post here.

  It went totally wrong as instead of creating a free website I kept getting blogs instead of website

  A blog is a website. It’s simply a type of website where the newsfeed/posts is primary instead of static pages with unchanging content. If you prefer a more traditional website, all you have to do is set it to have a static front page instead. You can do this from the Customizer:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/making-a-business-website/

  Set the Homepage

  it also kept asking for domain name and choosing the pricing under which no free was listed so I think I did it wrong once more and got into the paid stuff and there seems to be no way to correct it

  The account you’re using to post here is only five hours old, and doesn’t own any sites, nor have you bought any upgrades from us.

  To create a new site, go to https://wordpress.com/start/site/ and follow the steps.

  On the domains screen you’ll see an option for a free *.wordpress.com or .blog subdomain. If you select that, you’ll be able to select the free plan on the next step.

  I am so confused I have never made this sort of site before in the past I made it offline via a program like Komposer and then simply uploaded it via FTP.
