I made myself
a little website. It's very minimal. Once I have my design tools installed on my new computer, I'll snazz it up a little bit, although not much. Minimal is fine for now. If I ever get stuff published (sigh) I'll do a little reorganizing to make it a little more author-centric. For now, though, it's nice to have as sort of a portal - there are so many places where I am on the Internet that it was frustrating to be defining myself as just one of them. So now there's a basic place where you can get to pretty much everything, which makes me happy.
And yes, you will note a section in there about my day job, too - I'm not averse to freelance proposal-consulting work, so it seemed there was no harm in putting up a few pages to that effect. I may go a little further later, and put up more information and rates. Who knows.
Incidentally, if you're feeling a driving urge to do something similar, the only cost involved was registering the domain name -- about twenty bucks for two years. All the rest is done through Google Sites. Once you figure out how to take off the rather utilitarian Google-ness of it, you can do pretty much whatever you want.
