What should a writer's website/blog have?
What sort of pages or content should a writer put into their blog or website?
The trials and tribulations of being a writer. Your everyday crappy life experience (seldom does anyone want to hear a happy story) and any articles, poems, novels, short stories you've recently published. If you blog 3-4 times a week, let us get to know you.

For writers, you may want to include pages that sort your work. So, like Chuck says, you can make pages for Short Stories, Poems, Novels in Progress, Non-fiction, etc. If you want, you can also add a Blog page that will be like a journal. Some people like to read stuff the writer wants to share, but it doesn't fall into any of the categories.
I hope this helps!

Seems some sites could be a detriment in promoting a website. Have you found...

You must have heard of the commonly-said maxim “Content is king!" Indeed, it is. Sadly, many novice digital marketers take blog SEO so seriously that they remain more focused on their frequency. In reality, a low-quality blog is enough to destroy the brand's reputation. If you take a little...

I am still pretty new to online writing so can someone explain why it is better to post articles on hubpages rather than your own blog? it cost nothing to make a blog, you can lay it out like a webpage, and keep all the ad revenue.
