      Thank you! I am just three months into blogging and I am still learning. I found YouTube videos helpful as well as GoDaddy, which is where I purchased my domain and hosting. Initially it does require a bit of work to set up the blog to your liking, and after that the amount of work depends on how often you wish to blog. Sorry I couldn’t be of much help. Good luck with your blog!
