    I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on
    everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress orr go for a paid option?
    There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed ..

      I’ve been satisfied with the free options offered by WordPress. Try that first. If you want something more sophisticated, you can upgrade to one of their premium templates.
