OK Jane, that's fair enough, I wasn't fearing you'd jump ship!
Before you start looking at that website (nearlyfreespeech) and get totally turned off by their geeky techie stuff, let's look at this a different way. Imagine you could wave a wand and all the domain registration, website hosting, page design and other grunt work were taken care of by your fairy godmother. What she cannot do is decide what to put on your pages.
Curl up with pad of paper and a pencil. Sketch out very roughly what you want it to look like. Even more important, jot down what you want to say. Hey, why stop there, go right to the top -- what do want your visitors to learn or do? Or you might decide it's not about your visitors, it's just about putting a bit of your life in front of the public (though I've never understood why people blog, but it sure is popular even though 90% only get one visitor [1]).
Whatever you do, don't just say you'll postpone that until you've actually got a website. If you have firm ideas laid out for the content, getting people to help you make that a reality isn't so difficult. If you don't have that info, well, not only will you never get the help, you may even find you don't need a website after all!
