Writing resources/web presence?

[primeideal]

Possibly jumping the gun here, but: I have a short story that's been accepted for publication in a semipro e-journal. I don't really have a website or anything like that under my real name (various links from when I was in academia, but nothing stable), and I don't want a Twitter/similar presence (too exhausting). Are there good (cheap) sites for "here is where you can read my work"? Is this not something I need to worry about until further down the line, if ever? Are there places to ask these questions on dreamwidth? (I know there's a self-publishing community, but I don't know how much overlap there is with the short story circuit.)

If you just want someplace to link to, you could make an author-name DW and use it only for a stickypost and work announcements? That probably is still the easiest way I know of to set up a bare-bones, stable, no-maintenance, free and ad-free blog, and enough pro-SF authors are on DW that at least if you're writing sff it shouldn't stand out.

I don't think it's 100% necessary - I am not a pro, etc, etc, but the last advice I've seen is unless you're doing it anyway for fun, don't waste your time on a web presence until your agent asks you to - but it can't hurt to have a basic place to send people that has links to your published work and contact info.
