I started with a site for Ian's band Los Otros. I paid £75 to buy the uk domain name from Fasthost for 10 years. But I've used Google sites for that one until I've transferred all the content onto Weebly, which I've found much easier to use. My next challenge is learning to use the blog pages and I just deleted an account of my trials and tribulations because it gets too boring. But if you'd like some help getting started, send me an email and I might be able to help with the basics.
I think I'll turn this into a techie help page just for getting around this site, but it's time-consuming enough just making sure the links are working and keeping things up to date!
