Website Maintenance Without Website Maintenance
So, you want to keep your website fresh and interesting but you’d rather not have to open your wallet every 10 minutes to pay some specialist to do what is, in fact, some not too heavy lifting.
No problem. 
The simple option is to install a script that helps you do it yourself. Right now, for example, I’m working in a PHP script called WordPress. WordPress is blogging software. You write in it as if it were a word processor, hit publish and voila! your site has a new entry.
Getting WordPress up and running isn’t too difficult. You have to download the software from the publisher (free), upload it to your webserver, configure it and then customize the layout the match the rest of your site. Of those activities, the toughest part will be customizing the layout to match your site. Not only do you have to have a pretty good handle on HTML to make this happen, you have to be able to edit the layout in pieces.
Keep in mind that WordPress is a script, and not a service (like Blogger or LiveJournal or any of the others). There’s good and bad to that. The good part is that you won’t get any mysterious “broken pipe” messages from a service when you go to publish (I’m getting one of those right now from Blogger). The bad part is you’ll have to keep your own scripts up to date.
