I know a lot of you have your own websites. I know next to nothing about it but I'd like to put together a website for my professional writing. Does anyone have anything they really recommend or don't recommend? What parts of your website and its features do you love? Not love at all?
I have a blog and a Twitter, so I'd love to be able to connect up to those via my site... Haha, as you can see, I'm a total noob at this. I don't even know the terminology.
Thank you for any assistance you can give me!

So far I like it, but I don't really maintain the site the way I should. It's very time-consuming to make changes, plus it's infrequent so there's that RE-learning curve every time you have to go back in and do something. I think the worst thing about a website is just the constant freaking maintenance. There are also a lot of little hidden expenses. We pay the hosting fee, the e-junkie fee, and a special fee to Wordpress to block spam (we were getting a hundred spam messages a day, so that was a necessity). Probably some other fees I've forgotten at the moment.
