I've been lax about my website recently and I'm trying to retool it as a place where I post published stuff, but I'm in that limbo of waiting to hear back about submissions. Once I have a decent amount of things published, I figure a website is a good platform for poetry chapbooks.

The pros might include that it can add visibility to your name or your projects and the cons are that it takes time and effort to create content and to keep traffic steady (which mine is not). Still, it's nice to have that space and in a way it's kind of like having a plot of land somewhere. Yeah, you might not build on it, but you could if you wanted to. Of course, that comparison is vulnerable to criticism on a number of fronts, but for you it might not be a bad idea. The Kenning blog does feature your voice, but in a very focused way. For you, a website might be a way for people that follow the blog (and your content) to get more of that without derailing the focus of the blog.
