My Killer Portfolio

I'm looking to make an online portfolio to showcase my education and accomplishments.  A friend of mine has created one, and I really like her's. I'm flash illiterate, so my site would be sans the frills. I think the concept is cool though. In today's job market it's becoming increasingly more necessary to have substantial web presence such as this.

Things I should keep in mind for my portfolio:
  • Professional appeal
  • Simple and straight forward
  • Pages
    • Hire me
    • Resume
    • Stories
    • Examples
    • About me
  • Exhibit links to other social networking sites
  • Make contact info super accessible

Game on - A pretty cool web site.









Looking to fight off boredom? Try this fun website. Googlefight is simple and sweet. Curious who would win - Paula Dean or Giada De Laurentiis? Ghandi or Martin Luther King? Bill Clinton or Monica Lewinsky?  Here blows are determined by the amount of links on Google.

From an aesthetic approach the site jives well. There aren't many bells or whistles, it is what it is... funny and entertaining. The metalic gray and neon green color scheme works well for the site. I especially appreciate that the ads are not overpowering the content on the site.
