Look into WordPress blogs. They're easy to set up if you use an online host but have to install if you set up your own server. Unfortunately there's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to setting up your own server. I haven't looked into LAMP or WAMP in quite a while but I'm sure it's simpler with those.

Your home upload speed may show if you get several users looking at images at the same time. This may not bother them. I did this for a while when I first got into web development but it's not practical for commercial work. You probably won't have any issue with your personal downloading while this is running since a server is only pushing stuff upstream (uploading).

You can look into online web hosting which can be pretty cheap and far easier to use and set up for as little as or so a month. Even the cheapest service will get you a lot more than what you can deliver from home.
