I personally enjoy working on my website as much as I enjoy collecting cards. I've only ever used free website hosting sites - Yahoo Geocities until they shut it down, and now http://www.webs.com (formerly Freewebs). You don't really need to know how to program in html, especially as more free web hosting sites are popping up. Most sites are pretty user friendly.
The main drawback to free web hosting sites is limited storage and data transfer. That's why I can't set up a gallery of card scans directly in my website. I couple of page views and my daily data transfer allowance would be used up and the site wouldn't work. I've gotten around that by linking to Photobucket images and albums though. Webs.com does offer various "premium" services, so you can try it out for free for a while, and then if you want you can register a domain name that doesn't have the ".webs" part in it and have a lot more storage and data transfer space.
Whether you pay for it or get it for free, I definitely would recommend building a website for your hobby interests!
