Web presence

Every writer should have a web presence and one way of doing that is via Blogger. Ta Da! The range of templates and ability to upload photos and information about you is too good an opportunity to miss. The best bit is you don't need to write (or know) a drop of code. Actually the best bit is - IT'S FREE!
