So its something that i want to look good. I know that its going to take some time i just dont have any experience with somthing like this and am looking for some guidence.
How about a blog that you can upload pics and descriptions of what's going on?

Do you need this to be a truly professional looking website (like for marketing purposes)? Or is it ok that it just has a nice clean appearance with the ability to post pics and text?

I am trying to think of best combination of ease in use/learning curve versus what you need as far as functionality.

Do you need your own url (ie diddyfarms.com)?

This looks like a nice option... and it's free, I assume. But you cannot have your own domain. You are forced into their domain structure (_____.google.com).

If you want to use your own domain name, it looks like you'll have to go with a different hosting option.

There are several places that can do that too, some of them are free even. Let me see if I can find a couple places that are Web 2.0 repositories to find a couple links.

EDIT: If you're willing to pay to get a domain name: http://www.sitekreator.com/sitekreator/packages.html

A blog is a good idea.

P. Diddy and the Fam who you know do it better.



(anyone who listened to P. Diddy in the 90's will recognize that. Sorry, I couldn't help it)
