As Nathan suggested many possibilities exist to begin to ?create my own website.? For a total newbie I?d recommend starting with <https://wordpress.com> Can be basically ?free? Up and running quickly. Remarkable possibilities for expansion. Remarkable integrity. Huge support networks. Like Nathan I also use Smugmug for some uses. My imagist.com and imagist.com/blog sites are independently hosted at a monthly expense. You can also set up presence on Facebook and/or Google at no cost. I have a couple of those that I use for specific projects. Regards, George Lottermoser http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
