Maybe give some free advice about: Internet & Web Design?
For websites that you can post your poetry and get reviews and suggestions, I would try some of these.

I highly recommend the link below. Many of the members have years of experience in writing, some even professional, and offer some great advice and suggestions. The basic free package gives you room for 5 pieces of your work. You can earn an upgraded membership with more room by simply logging in every day, entering contests, and reviewing other people's work.

Good luck!

Poetry.com is what I use.
They DO share your poems in a book they publish, while you get none of the money, your name is included in the book and you get a spot on the website to publish as many poems as you want! If all your interested in is sharing your poems than I'd definately reccommend it.
Ps. Check mine out, type in "Sarah Stefanowicz" in the search artist bar.

Not entirely an answer to your question, but I hope good advice on the subject...
Keep right away from poetry.com
They use your poetry for profit, and also do a hoax whereby if you enter a poem, they offer to publish it and only publish it if you order a copy. It doesn't say so, but people have found out that when they ordered a copy, their poem was on the first page, and their friend, whose poem was also on their front page had a different copy, without their poem in it at all.
Poetry.com also has a whole bunch of offshoots, so be wary or anything that looks flash-bang, or says anything about "ownings mill" or "poetry plaza" as a postal address.
I'd agree with your first answerer, get a livejournal account. Another good avenue is to enter any free competitions you can find, or even some with payed entry if you think it's good enough to win or get published. Getting published in a book is very good for your resume.
Hope you find somewhere good

Noble House is another name they use.
Type "poetry" and "scam" in to a good search engine, and find them for yourself.
