I also dread people turning their hobbies into businesses just because they expect the hobby to pay for itself. Can’t a hobby be just that.

I also think there is good cause to make free choices like WordPress.com and not let yourself be distracted by all the costs associated with creating a genealogy blog, putting all your energy on your family history research and sharing. Sometimes focusing on content will gain you more than stuffing it with ads.

Of course, if you’re serious enough too, you can monetize this “costly” blog and make more than what you put in.

But it seems that having a blog is really something special. And who wants to have a blog has to do some expenses. Thanks for the info.

A thorough breakdown of the costs involved in blogging is very useful.
I suppose it all depends what you want from blogging, if it’s just a hobby, free Blogger blogs or WordPress.com blogs will do fine but if you’d like to earn money, a self hosted WordPress.org blog is the way to go as you are in full control and Google loves WordPress at the moment.
Thanks again for a very useful post,
regards,
Colin
