Very good blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?

I'm planning to start my own website 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 suggestions? Appreciate it!
