WordPress Self Hosting Recommendation
If I were to start my ePortfolio/blog from scratch today I would use self-hosted WordPress on a hosting service like Bluehost. This is exactly what I have been using since 2006. The only regret I have was that from 2006-2009 I posted on a WordPress site for a college I worked at rather than my own domain and when I left that college I left three years of posts behind. Don’t make this same mistake–post your work on a site your own. You can always cross-post to another site.

The cost for a self-hosted WordPress site on Bluehost is as low as $4 per month and there are special deals for college/university students and faculty at http://www.bluehost.com/hosting/education.
