I'm happy to be here and learn but I have to say, I'm completely baffled by some of what's required.  I don't understand what to do next - yes I've looked at the tutorials, gone through the tabs on the left but when it came to choosing a domain name then finding out I have to pay another $10 a month, I just can't afford that and I thought we could make a website without paying more? 

Hi, I'm from New Zealand and new here today.  I'm totally confused as to what I should be doing first but will need some time to work through it and make the most of my 7 free days.  Any advice, it's appreciated!  Thanks in advance - Cat
