Preface
If you don't have SharePoint Services, you need it. Even if you work alone from your home office as I do, SharePoint is too useful to pass up—and it's free (well, kind of). SharePoint Services is part of Windows 2003, so if you already have Windows Server 2003, you can download the installation from Microsoft and install it fairly easily.
If you don't have Windows Server 2003, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial through one of the SharePoint hosting providers, which operate much like other web-hosting services. With the free trial, you get an account and some server space. You can administer your site yourself through a web-based interface, and after the free trial period they'll bill you monthly.
