Prepare a free WordPress.com site with clear checkpoints

Prepare one free WordPress.com site with separate checkpoints for account signup, saved drafts and public launch.

Hosted WordPress.com only, not WordPress.org or self-hosted server setup. Free sites use a wordpress.com subdomain and display provider ads. Custom domains, paid themes, plugins and upgrades are outside this workflow.

Includes platform workflow, official sources, input and approval templates, a checklist and a result receipt. Requires a buyer-owned account and a separately configured browser-capable agent. Hermes Agent, Claude, Codex and Cursor are instruction targets, not tested integrations. No Node.js or Python runtime is required. Agent costs are separate.

The human handles signup identity, terms, credentials, CAPTCHA and OTP. Never paste secrets in chat; login does not establish automation permission. Stop at paid plans, trials, cards, domain offers or unclear free eligibility. Approve the exact content, actual URL and public audience before launch, then verify the real URL logged out. Reconcile existing artifacts before retries.

Free under MIT. Official documentation retrieval and local static checks only; real signup, authenticated free-plan UI paths, template publication and paid services were not execution-tested. Independent guidance, not provider endorsement.
