Why not use tumblr? I can understand if its because of the url but tumblr is so easy with the html for the blog design and I'm seeing more and more artists starting to use it (and I mean actual artists not tumblritas)

You can buy a web domain for $10 a year and point it to your tumblr page, the url isn't much of a problem

I.. I have a page on Facebook

I would say some important parts of a portfolio are:

Some kind of red thread throughout your work. You want to see that it's the same hand that's made the different artwork. You also don't want to aim for quantity instead of quality. A bad drawing can drag down your better work.

Contact info is important of course, like the other anon said. Titles are important as well, and measures if you work traditionally.

An artist statement (or some kind of text) can be really rewarding too. If someone looks at your work, likes it, and want to know more about your work and thoughts, an artist statement is ideal. There's plenty of guides online on how to write a statement.

A Facebook page is a better idea if you're already popular and got a website, in my opinion. From my experience Facebook pages really aren't good at all when you want to be found by people when you aren't some super popular guy already

How about Deviantart? Do you think showing your portfolio from there is a bad idea because of the fanart autism you see there?

Pretty sure that lots of professional artists use it, but I wouldn't use it as your only site.
