Years ago, a good friend read my long posts on Facebook and suggested I move my writing to a legitimate blog. At the time, angst consumed me, and I shouted into the darkness. His suggestion intrigued me. This idea wouldn’t be that far-fetched; I kept an online journal many years before. However, the type and style of the writing would be different. This idea bounced around in my head for a while. I always intended to return to writing, but not like this.
As it happens, starting a blog would be relatively simple. You can register a domain for $20 a year; the price of hosting it will be a little more. That’s if you want your own distinctive home on the web; there are plenty of websites that will host your blog free of charge. However, I felt that if I wanted to do this legitimately, I should get my own domain. Then the gears started churning.
