Level 0 beginner: how do I put a webpage on my domain?

[pallid bough]

Hi all. I found my way here through the Cloudflare website, searching for help. I am 100% completely in over my head: I purchased a Cloudflare domain as a secondary domain for a secondary website, not expecting that this was "dev" territory. I am experienced in Wordpress.com but to my recollection chose Cloudflare for the second one because it was cheaper. Well, now I have no idea what I am doing. I was hoping that I could make my website on Wordpress and connect it somehow to the domain I have on Cloudflare. Can anyone please guide me around this dev stuff that I don't have the time or patience for? I'm sorry if I'm not in the right place. I chose "Pages" as my destination in this server because it sounded closest to what I am asking about, and "DNS" as the tag because I think that has something to do with hooking domains and websites up, right? o_O

So, you have created a website on wordpress.com and now want to connect your Cloudflare domain to it? In that case, wordpress.com should have instructions for you.

They would provide you with a number of DNS records that you need to add to your Cloudflare account.
