So welcome, Gill! I do. WordPress (self-hosted) is always going to rank much better than pretty much any other platform. Buy your own domain (e.g., your name plus .com preferably) through a domain host company (I use NameCheap).

Follow Barb Drozdowich for anything WordPress-related. She’s a teacher, coach, and author. She’s my go-to for all things website (and I mention her in my article). Honestly, I had no idea what to do when I started blogging. I opened up Blogger and struggled. You have no idea LOL. Barb got me going on WordPress and I haven’t looked back!
