  Hi Again :)

  The first step is to register the domain that you wish to use. You can do that here.
  lanes-end-poultry.wordpress.com does not exist and you are only able to use lowercase letters and numbers 0-9 in your WordPress.com domain, you aren’t able to register or use a domain with – in it. A free alternative available for you to register and use would be lanesendpoultryblog.wordpress.com or upgrade to lanesendpoultry.com.

  I would recommend reading this information: https://learn.wordpress.com/ There is a ton of really helpful information to help you get started using WordPress.com. You can follow this guide’s step-by-step instructions to then get your blog set up: https://en.support.wordpress.com/five-step-website-setup/

  You can change any blog address by following this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
