I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was
wondering what all is required to get setup?
I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly
appreciated. Cheers
