Please be kind to my bandwidth, and remember that if you browse any of the rest of my website, it's still completely a work in progress.

Why so? Is it the same dilemma as Java programmers relying on "System.out" to show stuff while debugging?
If you're interested in debugging statements, most modern browsers support javascript console statements, like console.log(whatever). It'll even deal with objects being logged. In, for example, Chrome, you can see the console by right-clicking, then clicking "Inspect Element", and clicking the second button from the left on the bottom (it looks like >≡).
If you're interested in outputting stuff to the user, I personally use JQuery to replace a div/textbox's text.
