If you're looking to pay a little for this, I might recommend you check out Squarespace[1]. They have some great content management features and some wonderful templates, which are completely customizable. Probably the best way to see how it works is to view the tour[2]. And finally, you can get 14 days to try it completely free. You don't even need a credit card to sign up, and if you use the offer code "TWIT" (from the "This Week in Tech" podcast with Leo Laporte), you can get 10% off the price for the life of your account[3]. Even if you don't decide to go with Squarespace, I'd reinforce one thing Chris said: > If you want to promote some of your written work ... get a domain Perhaps you could use a sub-domain on your thought.org domain, but I would say that anyone using those free blog services (wordpress.com / blogger / livejournal) for a for professional reason, well... aren't very professional, in my opinion. ;-) Wordpress (the software)[4] is rather easy to install on your own servers, and has a nice, easy-to-use administration panel. There are tons of themes and plugins available for it, so it's quite customizable as well. Hope that helps some. :-) [1] http://www.squarespace.com/ [2] http://www.squarespace.com/tour/ [3] http://www.squarespace.com/twit [4] http://wordpress.org/
