    Self-hosted? I think it's like you have full control over your website/blog. Customise it however you want. Install plug-ins, etc. I'm sure @Chloe_Scope will be able to tell you a bit more as she recently went co-hosted with her blog :)

    Aww thankyou Adrian! 

    Not very long, as there isn't much support in the North East of Scotland, we are currently trying to get numbers of people up and when events happen etc then I will be part of those! Thankyou so much! :)

    Awesome to hear @glitterygutsx. I hope it grows quickly! Please let us know how you get on. :)

    As it happens, Sam from our community team (she's unfortunately off work recovering from surgery at the moment) recently took part in the #ItTakesGuts campaign. What a small world!

    Hi @glitterygutsx,
    Thank you for that.  How are you this evening?  I live in the South West of Scotland.  I have been to the North East many times.  Beautiful up there!  Lovely to speak to you.  :smiley:

    You are welcome! I'm very tired its been such a busy day with my first day at work then going to the skip,helping my mum then coming home and cleaning and then doing a blog piece and a design for someone! Been sat with my hot water bottle most of the night! 

    Aww how beautiful! I have been down that way a few times too! But the North of Scotland up by Ullapool and Oban is truly my favourite places to visit!
