I do not consider I am a "master" at webwork, but I do not see the "cost"
element that you complain about.

ISP = free.

50 meg webspace = free.

any software that is needed, that you cannot write for yourself, = free.

Uploading files = (in UK) £0.01 per minute or free if you have a surfing
deal.

If you write the pages yourself instead of using WYSIWIG software then they
do not take up much webspace (my entire 970 pages and 1800 images occupy
less than 10 meg).

Time, it takes plenty, but in my case I am a disabled old git and I might as
well spend my time at a computer rather than dozing in the armchair.

So do I.

All my work is achieved without any adverts, but I can see the time coming
when I may have to pay for that privilage. Then perhaps I will turn my
attention to model aircraft?:-)
