…. setting up this blog
It’s taken a few iterations to get it going. The choice between blogspot vs wordpress was just a personal preference for the wordpress interface, which I find easier to navigate. I moved some material from my version 1 WordPress, using the export function, which was dead easy. I’m comfortable that there is ample flexibility.
Budget
Annual $17 to Netregistry for registering a domain plus
Annual $12 to WordPress to map to mygeopplace.com as primary domain
WordPress Theme purchase WooThemes $49
My time, priceless.
