How’s this for spooky: these icons have shown up on one of my private documentation blogs. I 200% did not add them. So I’m wondering if Blogger are perhaps testing out integrating this too.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
