I'm just kinda wondering how to go about starting a "website" for my fledgling game/company.

I use the quotes because at this time I'm not really looking to create an entire website from scratch. Mostly I'd just like to have something I can use to put up news about my progress, post screenshots, that sort of thing. I know there are many options out there for this sort of thing... I've kind of been thinking about wordpress, but I'm really pretty clueless about the pros and cons are for one site or another.

So, community, should I just stop stressing about it and make a wordpress page, or should I be considering other options?

Wordpress - even the freebie one - has quite a good set of tools for tracking stats for page reads, unique visitors etc, which is a handy tool for gauging your visibility. Maybe when you're getting a lot of interest you could consider setting up a "proper" site.

One downside of the free Wordpress stuff is that it can take nearly as much time to make it look unique as it would to create a site from scratch. The free themes are nice enough, but they're pretty generic and most of them don't allow a huge amount of customisation.

Another option is the Drupal CMS. It's easy enough to get going quickly. It can also be expanded later into any imaginable type of website (not only blog/community style like Wordpress).

I personally wrote my portfolio from the ground up (but it is fully data driven), but I have heard great things about this;

Another vote for WordPress but I would argue against going with any of the free hosting places unless you are really really cash strapped. Paying for a domain and hosting of a small wordpress-based website will be less than the cost of a pizza a month and is a more versatile solution that will make you look more professional. And definitely customize your wordpress theme -- I don't know how much HTML + CSS you know, but it is easy to pick up enough to make a unique looking site if you have any visual design skill.

My blog, linked to in my sig, is WordPress + custom theme.
