This time I'm digging up some good discussions at Dear Author about author websites, and marketing:

Look through the comment threads, because not everyone agrees with the main post. But it's a useful perspective.

Hmmm, very interesting, thanks for posting that. I've actually just started playing at web pages for myself, having registered the domain name a couple of years ago and being aware that eventually I will want the publicity. It's not essential at the moment which is why I can take my time over trying things out and learning how to do it myself so that by the time (hopefully) when I *really* need it, it'll be up and running. :)

I found the first one very useful when it was first posted, and I've gone back to it a couple of times, but I always have to have a couple of goes at searching for it, so I thought I'd link it here for myself and others. :-)
