All depends on what you use the book of face for.

A proper domain name that you own can be set up to point to a hosted blog of some type (probably a wordpress instance somewhere... just don't do anything to set up taking payments, etc. or anything that you really want to be secured via wordpress, it is known terribly insecure as are many many extensions, etc. But it works fine for "I don't know HTML and need to post messages w/ some images etc"). This gets you easy image and message posting, may allow comments/replies to your top level posts. Calendar type thing for upcoming shows you'll be at, etc.

You can then set up a self-selecting-into one-way list for announcements, etc. and then include references there to your blog posts. "Hey all, new blog post up with previews of some charcoal silhouettes I was working on and a show schedule for the upcoming holiday season - check it out on the blog at https://......" The one big thing here is secure the list so only you can send to it and be sure to immediately honor unsubscribe requests.
