My first experience blogging

I have never blogged in my life and, when told to create a blog, I said okay, very intelligently.  There is no way I understood what I was being asked to do.  I tried to create a blog by going to Google and entering the word BLOG.  I was directed to many sites and most of them were not free.  I, finally, gave up and asked my husband if he had a blog and he told me how to find his by putting in my name after his blog name/billsblog.
It was eyeopening to say the least.  I don't know what to expect but this is the beginning of my adventure into the world of blogging.
