Hi Chipncut, are you looking to have an actual website or are you looking for a place to put photos of you work, just to share? Before I had my website I put all my photos on
www.photo.epson.com It's easy to join, just sign up and they allow you to put lots and lots of photos on for free.
For my website, I use FrontPage by MicroSoft, it's a great progam and if you have any computer smarts you can probably figure it out. I, however, am computer illiterate, so I hired someone to make my site and he's teaching me how to update it myself.
I found him by going through our local internet provider, they offer webdesign. Funny thing was, it was cheaper hiring him to make it than a local college student! The real plus thing is, he's always just a phone call or e-mail away.
There are a lot of options out there, this is my experience, hope it helps you out some! Good luck!
