Not realising that a new domain requires being linked to the "primary domain" has given me issues that cannot be resolved online and offline support seems to be weekdays only.

It's ok
June 5, 2023

It's ok. The user friendliness is a bit "eh." Took me awhile to realize that logging into bluehost does not log me into WordPress. And I'm still unsure how to edit any pages for posting‍

I paid far more than I had bargained for and I found it all very confusing for a novice. I had blogs years ago when things were much simpler and straightforward.

Not too bad
June 4, 2023

Not too bad. I now have heaps of time to set everything up so will try and get the basic part undertaken. Just find it very confusing with so many offers, so many things that system tells you that you need to do before you can setup just a basic blog. The good news is I have heaps of time, just looks like I will be teaching myself about Bluehost/Wordpress over the next few months rather than actually using it!

Your automated help would be laughable if one were to judge it fairly. I'm not that well disposed. It's not very funny to me.
