Need a blog and an author website?  WordPress does both!  Even better, because it is a content management program, it allows you to build, edit and maintain your site without having to pay anyone.  Because WordPress is FREE!

Have a new book cover?  Post it to your site with a click of a button.  Need to announce your upcoming book tour?  Create a calendar of events listing the locations of your signing or blog tours.  Want to make the site match your book covers?  There are hundreds of free themes and thousands of low cost design alternatives.
