I wasn't expecting long essays ;) Just a few notes on progress and what
hardware/software/techniques you are using.

I doubt Wordpress will allow you to upload lots of audio files, but there
are other sites dedicated to that, e.g.

http://www.soundclick.com/

I've not used them myself. I expect there are some that would let you embed
a player widget in your blog posts if you can stand to use non-free
MP3/Flash.

I've probably mentioned it before, but one of the podcasts I listen to is
about producing music with open-source software

http://www.opensourcemusician.libsyn.com/

They often feature tracks that people send in. Do you have any plans for
what you would do with the finished album? I've been reading some
discussions on how musicians can move beyond the record company/CD/music
shop model. e.g.
