Because I just saw Dirk's costs, here's a tip for anyone wanting to set up blog services: take a close look at the different pricing plans from various providers! There are some that are significantly cheaper. I don't advertise often, but I want to give a shout-out to Hetzner, they provide me with an entry-level server for 40 euros per month with 100 GB traffic included. And the next larger plan comes in at 70 euros with 150 GB. With something like that, you can already do a lot more cool stuff without running out of money right away. Disclaimer: I don't have much more to do with them than having simon (the server that this all runs on) hosted with them.
