Is it just a blog you want?

That's the main function, yes. But I also want the ability to publish documents/images/videos going forward and retain ownership of any content I create. I'm getting quoted separate prices for hosting, SSL certificate & a security package right now. I'm afraid I'm a little lost.

Got a little experience in using GoDaddy basic package for a CIC but we pay an inclusive fee as a business.
@SjMaskell is more knowledgeable on this than me. -
Go Daddy do a month’s free trial for building a website, in which you can incorporate a blog. Best thing to do is go and have a play and see if it’s what you want. You do have to be a bit inventive with the template. Don’t know about videos. https://uk.godaddy.com/

Thank you both. The salesman (which may be significant) was steering me away from the 'build a website' option I can see when I sign into Go Daddy and look at the domain I've purchased. Suggested that would be harder to later monetise and something else... which I forget. Valid?

Difficult to know. Sorry.
-
Appreciated, thanks anyway. I can already see that WordPress themselves offer 3 paid packages - and even the most expensive business package is £100 cheaper than I've been quoted. With unlimited storage vs a 10gb limit. Hmmm...

I have embedded videos in a free wordpress site. Like anything, it's about you getting to know the software and what you want to achieve. You can embed adverts for small income that offset costs. You have to be comfortable with the budget costs first.

I could speak to a couple of people I know. Is it a charity website?
-
No. Just little old me doing my own thing. And though I do hope some degree of public service will come from it, I don't think that qualifies. :)
-
There is Wix or WordPress. I could find out some prices....
-
To be honest, the prices are one thing, (and thank you), but I'm more keen to avoid setting off on the wrong foot by going in one direction when I might later wish I'd taken another path. That could be just a large dose of fear of the unknown with me though. Zero experience.
-
Wix is a good option. I know of someone who will sort out a template and make it so that you could change things.
-
You're the second person to mention Wix. I'd not heard of that before, so let me do some reading up and I'll come back to you. I really appreciate the offer, thank you!

Have you checked youtube tutorial.....helps me??
-
I did have a quick look, but there were so many and think I may have picked the wrong videos for my standard (zero), because I quickly found myself lost in unfamiliar terms on the first few. Perhaps I should persist. Have you a particular one in mind?
