Can anyone recommend an easy-to-use online service that I can use to upload some of my homebrew content? I basically just want something that I can point my players to. It doesn't have to be fancy or pretty. In fact, the simple the better. Message boards would also be nice so that they can ask me rules questions between sessions.
Naturally, free is best but I dont mind paying a couple of bucks for a quality service.
A good site I've been using is excoboards. I'm typing from my phone, so give me a second to link it. They basically give you a whole messageboard that you can make private and everything.

While I am sure there are honestly probably better out there --
I've been with Angelfire since 1998. They have a free basic setup which is probably adequate to your needs; I use their basic paid service which is $5 a month for no ads, 1 GB space (more than what I need), and 100 GB bandwidth. They have various free services--image gallery, etc.--and while no message boards, there is a blog where people can comment to if they want.
Another possibility is looking into various Wiki services, many of which are free or cheap.

dreamhost.net gives you unlimited storage and bandwidth for $9 a month and offers one click installation of some pretty decent programs that will build a website for you.
enworld, if you want to go for free to $3 a month, might offer what you want. Every registered member can basically do their own little blog through the site if they want to.
With free storage, you can't go wrong with Dropbox. Hyrum (i.e. Paizo's new Marketing Director and former SGG Propagandist) turned me onto it and it's great, IMHO! You start out with two gigs worth and you can recommend your friends to it for an additional 250 mb up to 8 gigs of free storage. It works like a network cloud that is seamlessly available from within your Windows Explorer off your My Documents Folder. If you have all of your players install it, you can sync documents and other content needed for your gaming session and your players will all get notified when contents have been added, changed, or removed.
I like EpicWords.com, but ObsidianPortal is nice as well. I used to use Google's offering, but it is RPG agnostic.
I checked this out and it is excatly what I am looking for. Thanks!
I still love google sites, but I'm also on my second campaign using this template made by a Paizo Forumitehttp://sites.google.com/site/pathfindertemplate/
That is a great template... I'm going to use it for my own games when I get back to GMing.
