Why don’t you have a personal website?
--No seriously, why not?! I mean they’re easy to make, at least all basic like mine, and it’s a great way to advertise your product; you! Not only do you give family and friends a non awkward or sucky obligated medium (nobody writes snail mail anymore and nothing is more obligatorily sucky than Christmas cards!) in which to keep up with your life, you have the opportunity to uniquely and creatively express yourself! Nobody says it has to be grade-A material like this fine example of weblication (www.csrtaight.com), just throw some stuff together, writing, pictures, whatever, and boom, you got a personal website. I mean look at EbbWorld, talk about a mess of cyberspace! Though I will be re-launching EbbWorld in a more professional manner soon, it’s been scattershot aesthetics at best; though I rely on content more than quality. Just don’t make a website like The Cheat’s though (Intro, http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbsite/)
Anyways, you can go to http://geocities.yahoo.com/ to start the process. They take you step by step if you're a beginner and even have a cool tool for making websites from scratch. You get 15MB (too little if you ask me) to upload stuff, but if you’re just beginning, that should be more than enough.
Oh, and if you want to take lessons from the man himself, go here!
