RE: Need an Artist Website
Hello Murphy,
We can help you with your problem of finding someone to build you a website that will let you showcase your artwork, designs, and like you said your thougts.
We provide all of the most modern web tools in one site system so you have the ability to get your message and work out without any technical knowledge. We handle all of the back end web tech stuff.
For your purposes the pieces you would likely be most interested in are:
Photo Gallery - allows you to upload photos directly to your site. You can add a watermark to the photo automatically during the upload, add photo descriptions, make the photos searchable, and the photos display in a lightbox. If you choose to you can turn on the Tag Cloud for your images too. You can even syndicate your images through the automated RSS feed. See it here -

There are other media tools like a flash embedder, On-Site Video, and we are working on some flash photo scrollers.
To share your thoughts you can use the Blog, Forum, Wiki, or just write whatever you want on any page. You can make as many pages as you want.
If you have the skills to post anything here then you are savvy enough to use our site system.
Aside from the obvious ad, I think this should help you end the frustration you express.
The service runs $50/month. No setup, hosting, or other hidden fees and you can actually have a person to help you get going.
The site is
