The economics of a blog. I was toying with starting g a blog for a pet project of mine, it it appears there are costs involved. What has been your experience of running g a blog cost (and income?) wise? I appreciate that the income side is probably aimed at the more generic blogs, rather than gaming. But curious of what the warts and all position is The alternative is that I may set up a dedicated FB page to record my thoughts Thanks all |

The only cost I've had was a small amount to extend the storage size of Google Photo. Think it was around £10.00 GBP? And I've had my blog for nearly 10 years. onelover-ray.blogspot.com |

Free.
Haven't needed to expand storage yet. |

Interesting. Wordpress looks like it charges. Any preferences on blog software then as well please |

Mine is free, besides the normal internet access costs I pay anyway. |

Mine is free also. I make no income from it.
I prefer blogging to facebook has it's easier to access older content. link |

I use blogspot. Don't expect to make money. One of my Blogs has had over 5 million hits. it would have made me $500. USD |

Blogspot has cost me nothing but time. |

"Appears there are Costs involved"? Blogger hasn´t cost me (so far) anything.
Go ahead Marc and create one :-) |

I use Wordpress and it is free to use, but add-ons cost, such as turning it into a domain. All good. |

If you just want to blog then Google is fine (blogspot) if you want a website with a blog embedded i'd suggest Wordpress. Either way you'll probably get more notice on FB. |

Thanks all. I will go for blogspot then. It was definitely not something to "get more notice", and I frequent FB so I get all the adulation I crave there… :-) It is more that I want to track some projects, and because they are potentially slightly more off the beaten path than 28mm/15mm/FoW I thought the effort may be worth it. I shall see if I can start this weekend. Thanks again all. Much appreciated. |
wonders if he can use his 3Dprinter to make markers.
