I want to create a website to share personal project work, what options exist?

TerraHertz:
Or, you can go the DIY route.
* Think of a domain name (that isn't already registered.)
* Register it via one of the cheap registrars.
* Find a web hosting service. Ideally that provides a full Unix server, with Cpanel or other such command interface.
* Write and test your pages in minimalist html and css on your own PC.
* Use FTP to upload them to the server.

This way is actually pretty simple. No real difference in learning curve to using auto-generators, plus you get total control and all the perks. Multiple email addresses, FTP, storage, site access statistics, blocking, etc.

I hesitate to offer my own site as an example of anything, but here's part of it: http://everist.org/NobLog/index.htm
I've never bothered to implement any active content management, reader comments, etc. Keeps maintenance to zero.

Not updated lately. 2020 has been a sh*t. Including my wife's illness and passing away in Sept.

This thread was bought up again by a spammer, but thought I'd add something. The best project website I've seen is by a friend of mind. He has documented every personal design and work project (where possible) since 1990, but hasn't updated since 2017. But wow, nearly 30 years of projects:

I don't even have photos or any info of most of the stuff I've worked on  :palm:

Really nice archive! Reminds me so much of a publications, presentations, tech reports and book chapters section on a scientist's CV - except you actually see them. Very little to argue with if he references the site on a one page resume!

What's your policy there -- delete the account right away, or wait until they add the spam link to their post in two or three days?  ::)

I wonder whether those spammers realize how obvious their behavior is. First-time poster, brings up an old thread, makes a short, out-of-context post, waits a couple days before adding his link...

The post is deleted and the account banned. In this case a legit user replied and continued the thread.
