The WordPress Gutenberg Block Editor drove humble me away from running my primary Blog at WordPress.com. \u2018Following the launch of WordPress 5.0 in <\/i>December 2018<\/b><\/i>\u2019, the WordPress Block Editor<\/b><\/a> \u2018was set as the default editor and replaced the classic editor<\/i>\u2019.<\/p>\n I started blogging on Blogger<\/b><\/a> before Google purchased it in 2003. Heck, I even learned how to write my posts in HTML before leaving Blogger in May of 2004<\/i><\/a>. Still, that Gutenberg Block Editor kicked my buttocks every time I tried it. Even setup a free WP blog site to just test the Block Editor.<\/p>\n Had even purchased a $300 WP Business plan to avoid using that durn<\/i> Block Editor on my Linux Newbie \u2013 Since 1996<\/i> primary blog. Started looking for a Web Hosting service during that 1-year WP Business plan subscription\u2014hey, I wasn\u2019t about to pay $300 every year for a simple personal blog.<\/p>\n Jeez<\/b>…what a pain that search was!!! Long story, but the short of it was I settled on a Hostinger<\/b><\/a> 4-year Introductory<\/b><\/i> plan for a onetime cost<\/b> of $107.56 (about $2.25 a month<\/i>). Renewal<\/b><\/i> price will be a onetime cost<\/b> of $335.52 \u2013 in 10\/19\/2026. Gotta check both the Introductory<\/i> prices & the Renewal<\/i> prices on any plan you check out!<\/p>\n 4-years for the WP Business plan is $1,200. I\u2019ll look for a coupon before renewing in late 2026 to see if that $335.52 can be lowered a tad, but that price breaks down to just $83.88 a year, which is still a bargain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
