What is my site address?
-
I tried giving a company a link showing I’m trying to set up a blog so that I may get free items in return for detailed reviews. The link I sent them took them to a page asking for the site address? I’m brand new at this and am so overwhelmed, I don’t even know where to start to build my blog page. I need my site address to give the company. Please help! Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Sounds like paid placement and fake reviews – that will get your blog suspended
You might also review the TOS before you get too far along:

http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/suspended-blogs/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/You need to have a WordPress.ORG install to do that – but the cost of your own hosting will probably cost more than the “free” stuff you might get – and if you are struggling with your address – running your own .ORG install will be a bit tough

What is paid placement and why would I give a fake review? I’m brand new to blogging and I’m just trying to set a blog up for bracelets I’ve made, adding some tutorials and giving reviews on new items regarding bands used to make these bracelets. -
Personal: This is the broadest category and includes blogs about personal topics like politics, music, family, travel, health, you name it.
This was under ” types of blogs” and this is what I’m trying to set up.
I do lots of arts and crafts and that’s what I want to make a blog about as well as reviewing items. I’ve seen a lot of blogs like this. I’m not trying to do anything wrong or break any rules. -

Well, standards have lowered around here lately and so I have flagged this for a staff ruling. A year ago yes, that sort of thing would have gotten your blog suspended. Without question.

http://loomlove.com/ – is not hosted at WordPress.COM if it was hosted here it would be suspended no doubt at all – all the ads and other junk – for sure not allowed at all
It is a WordPress.ORG install – ask over at WordPress.ORG for help setting a site up like that – since it is a commercial site – expect to pay someone to help you

I had absolutely no idea any of this was this big of deal like I said, I’m brand new to the blog world, googled how to start one for free, Word Press popped up, and no, I will not be paying anyone to help me because I have a few friends that can help me. Go ahead & flag away as I am done with Word Press. People are rude here , all I did was ask for help and then get a smart ass response fron auxclass & apparently Im going to do fake reviews, wth was that about? I will be sure to let people know to steer clear of this place. Good riddance…

Hi glitterbug76!
I hope you haven’t left yet! These types of reviews are totally allowed here. Our guidelines just ask that they not be the sole purpose of your site and make sure that you are in fact writing the reviews and not being paid to publish a pre-written copypasta post.
@auxclass & @raincoaster – Please do not discourage new users from participating and asking questions. Your aggressive responses in this thread are completely uncalled for.

Thank you so much shawnajroberts! Finally, someone nice! Thanks so much for sticking up for me and addressing this issue with the other 2 users. Their responses just totally shocked me when all I asked for was some help! Anyway, again, thanks so much!
