When you start your first website, you probably don't need a lot of fancy features. You need to get comfortable putting your message on the interwebs--you can always change it up later.
Templates are your friends. They give you a variety of looks for your site--maybe not as much variety as you want, but still. If you decide it's really not you, press a button and it's gone.
If you have a blog, you already know how templates work. Was I surprised that setting up a "real" website is just as easy.
So find a template you like and concentrate on the more important issues: what you want to say, and your domain name. I'm happy to help you with both, of course. But I want you to learn how to update your site yourself, so that you can keep it fresh and keep readers (both human and search engines) coming back for more.
FYI, I created my own website, KatharineHadow.com, using a template. :)
