for some reason when I see "FF4" and "FF5" I keep reading them as "F2F" ... wishful thinking, I guess
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
This might be too general or too basic a question for Tech, but I figured I might as well start here:
Supposing one were part of a community activist effort about which a number of articles had been printed in the local press and statements made by the involved parties, some accurate and some rather less so. Press people are contacting members asking if there's a central website yet. There isn't, because most of the organizers are neophyte protesters and a lot of them probably don't own computers at all.
Nevertheless, a website to point press toward wouldn't be a bad thing. Nothing fancy, just someplace to post all the relevant links, docs and pictures, and notices about upcoming meetings and such. Also either free or cheap, because (a) most of the organizers are pretty poor, and (b) the hope is that this will be a short-term effort that won't need something big and sturdy and forever-lasting.
Google just burped out 83,000,000 references for "free website hosting," which is kind of a lot to sort through. Any recs on which of these 83 million are actually reliable, cheap and reasonably non-ugly?

The simplest thing would be something like a WordPress blog.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I agree with Ginger- in fact, go wordpress.com rather than setting up your own. Free hosting in the actual hosting sense tends to the sketch, wordpress.com can handle all the traffic the universe can possibly throw at it (I mean, they host the frickin lolcats!), and there's basically no setup other than getting your content up.

I would say the same, and unlike Ginger and amych I am a mere civilian in the technological world. I have set up a wordpress.com blog myself and it was very easy.

Ditto to all of flea's points.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
In addition to the suggestion of wordpress, you may want to look into posterous. I have found blogging there to be incredibly painless.
I format posts in gmail (including adding pictures), and mail them to posterous and they show up.
seriously. that's it.
