  Hi there!

  First of all, welcome :)

  i thought i created a website. i don’t understand why wordpress.com is in it?

  You’ve purchased the Premium upgrade, which allows you to set a custom domain name (without wordpress.com in the address). However, you haven’t registered your domain name yet. To do this, click the link below:
  https://ramonasrainbowreflections.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Then, click Register a New Domain Name, and complete the instructions that are given to you.

  I also don’t know why I can’t go to google and find it?

  It takes time for Google to index new websites. It can take several weeks for them to find you, actually. Here is information for you about search engines, how they’ll find out, and what you can do to speed up the process:

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
