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