I will consider your professional advise Antonis. However, what I would 
like to build is a (1st) freelancer website (upwork or like), I know that 
there are hundreds of these right now, but with a subtle twist and to offer 
both client and contractor something more, it may be feasible. (2nd) I fail 
to find Angel Investor so I have to cut cost everything to the rock bottom, 
I have a lot of time available to study and (plus motivation of course) and 
(3nd) I've done number of websites with blogspot (but plugins are paid 
monthly). So, I was thinking to do it myself the backbone with Django. 
Please tell me more what I should have know to bring this project to life. 

Thanks for your support,
Danny

Hi Antonis, 

No I have not yet tried wordpress, but the answer is budget wise. I would 
think that after these exercises, I am just going to pay (I think) the 
domain and hosting only.
