AKICOLJ/DW: Recommendations for Author Website?

lizvogelSo, the time has come when I really should put together an author website.
1) Suggestions for web hosting? I don't need anything fancy; static pages and a contact form, maaaaaybe a blog and/or the ability to selectively link in parts of this journal. I do want the ability to get in and control the structure myself; WordPress, for example, is handy for quickie set-up, but I find it rather limiting when I'm used to being able to manipulate files directly.
2) At the rate it's going, getting a proper website set up is going to take a while. In the meantime (however long that meantime proves to be), would it be tacky by Dreamwidth standards to put a sticky at the top of this journal listing my published stories? I figure that's the part of an author website people are most looking for, and this is my biggest web presence.
