I thought the .blog would be quite nice to have and would point it to my blog. I thought I'd get the same name as my usual domain name which costs at most £12 year. just with the .blog on the end. It would be similar to my .co.uk, .online and .website extensions, keeping my branding happy. Thought I'd register ready for when the time came and bobs your uncle.

I was absolutely amazed this morning to find out it will cost me £187.50 to register the .blog extension. Plus a £22.50 registration fee and a £165 application fee. OMG! Whatever is going on here? I'm only a small biz. These prices are ludicrous and that's only for one year!
