I talk about how I started my website, what I use, and how it only costs me $12 a year.
When I started this website back in 2017 it was just going to be a place to post the webcomic I draw. Since then it had turned into an artist podcast and a blog/vlog about what I do after starting my own business.
So basically when I get an idea for something I want to do I will create a website for it just to see if I will actually do anything with it.
The service I have been using for years to make websites? Blogger, which is owned by Google.
It's free and I don't really have to set anything up, I just create something from the few templates that it has and start posting.

If I do decide to go forward with any of the sites I make out of my ideas? I just buy a domain from Google domains which is built into Blogger and I only pay $12 a year for that!
Google Photos, Gmail, and more built-in.
Google Photos hosts the images on Blogger the site is easily connected through my Gmail account already. So, I find it really simple.
I just want to make a site when I have an idea & run with it!
I know there are tons of other great website services out there, I have just been using this over the years and wanted to talk about it.
I seriously have like over 25 sites I created just to try out an idea on Blogger. Some sites evolved and others I lost interest in a week.
But it was a free way to see if I even wanted to do it. So I thought I would share what I've learned from using it over the years.
