Unless you want a less-than satisfactory layout peppered with ads and
pop-ups from a "free" host, look into a local ISP that will sell you a
web host service with X MB (your requirement). Usually not too
expensive, and you can manage it all you want. Here's mine, run on
local Seanet.com:

I know a number of folks here have personal web pages detailing projects
and interests. I'm interested in doing the same, covering my issues and
experiences in moving my shop down under, my hobby projects, and my
photography.

I would want 500MB+ storage for images, a blogging application, and FTP
w/password access. Those features alone will probably ensure I get a lot
more bells and whistles, but those are the basics.
Looking for low cost. GoDaddy seems pretty cheap, but a couple friends
warn while setting up is fast and easy, customizing a web page isn't
exactly intuitive. 1&1 has a lot of features, but is kinda pricey for
just a personal page.

Open to suggestions.
