Why does blogging have to be so hard, confusing, costly and time=consuming to set up?
Do others feel intimidated by domain costs, host costs and how to start?
I only want to give this a go to see if its for me, gain experience, have a laugh and get legal exposure.
I don’t want to initially get tied into a monthly domain subscription, a yearly host fee and a whole lot of other hidden payments.
If anyone reads this who have honest, free and helpful suggestions of how to get some confidence and experience then please come forward and give me some tips.
I wouldn’t buy a car without asking to take it for a test drive free of charge so why a BLOG?
Please help me before I go even more mad than I am already.
Lord Frog awaits your comments so please leave me one..or two..
Thanks.

Before you connect you equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate corresponds to your inside leg measurement and always ensure the on/off switch is working correctly. Do not use if you suspect a fault. Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the otter, ensure that the gimble is not rotating and that the flange is disconnected.
IMPORTANT! Never open the deflector flap if the box is being emptied and the clunge is still running. The rotating minkey can cause serious injuries and throw objects out at high speed.
A safe distance between the thrust clunge and the user back minkey is provided by the length of the handle. This distance must be maintained at all times. Take special care when spinning and changing direction on embankments and slopes. Ensure that you have a secure surface to stand on, wear shoes with anti-slip soles that offer good grip, and long trousers with adequate ventilation. Always lunge across the slope (not in up or down direction).
Do not use the clunge without the deflector flap on gradients exceeding 15° for safety reasons.
Take special care when moving backwards and pulling the clunge. Never pull the minkey backwards when the biffon is running.
Thanks for that in depth view into your mind. I shall indeed get ventilated trousers.
