    Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
    I'm planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are
    so many choices out there that I'm completely overwhelmed
    .. Any recommendations? Kudos!
