Synthasite is another entry in the free website builder market. Synthasite is one of the better entries into this market not only because it has great templates and great design flexibility, but because it offers very good help pages for first time users. Another outstanding aspect of Synthasite is that not only is your website free, it is advertising free (unless you want advertising), and remains free regardless of how much content you add to it. This is a good thing if you plan to post a lot of audio or video content as some website builders and hosts begin to charge once you reach a certain volume content.
Applications for Education
Synthasite can be used to create a website for your classes. If you decide later on that you also want to have a blog for your classes, you can add that as an element of your website. Synthasite could be used by students to create websites as a way to display what they have learned through a research project or during the course of a unit of study.
Here are a few other very good, free website building tools and hosts.

First, congrats on your award. I am a daily reader - with reviews and applications of some great tools!
Second, I really like Synthasite and use it to showcase my students' work - see http://weewebwonders.synthasite.com/
I'm also a huge fan of synthasite. It's nice that you can log on to your account from several computers and work on a site collaboratively (give each person/group a page on the site). My students made a very cool site about recycling as a culminating project. See http://greenmonkeyhomes.com
