If you decide to use any web site to help you do that, or to spread the word about <em>where</em> you do that, first research the good and bad uses (as you've already done it seems) and then try to do what you've seen work. Overall, it is about having fun and being creative. Do that, and people will find it. At the end of the day, art and creativity are best displayed on your own terms.

My current plan, as I wrote, is to try a blend of both. I'll have my name attached to projects, and show pieces of them or parts of the process involved in making the projects and showcase those online. But the finished product, I'd like to have absolute control over and use in festivals. Also, being more focused on the writing part of things, I'm also concerned about putting my work up without proper copyright or registration. You're words are comforting, and I think they are true, I'm just trying to evaluate the value of the internet in my future career at this stage.
