This is a post I have wanted to write for a while now, but the recent talk on Twitter about expenses of blogging made me think I should pull it forward in my schedule. Blogging does have expenses, and some of these are things you wouldn't really think of if you aren't within blogging/website development etc. It’s often the same people who think blogging is ‘just typing a blog post’ that think this is a completely free hobby, or an easy full-time job for some. So, I wanted to be completely transparent about how I afford to host this blog, own a domain, have a paid theme, and of course pay for a lot of the products you see in my posts.
