portfolio thoughts

This portfolio/professional statement/website needs to display my skills as a writer and editor. It also needs to talk about why I want to go into a PWE related career and my values.

I intend to use this site (and others) to inform and argue myself to future employers and the teacher. I know alot about what a website needs to be visually appealing, however I don't have the technical know-how. To counter-act this, I will have some kind of apology on this site.

It will have the school colors (blue background with white and yellow text). I will include a picture of myself, links to my blog, and a copy of my resume. I will again apology for using my generic resume that can apply to anything. A custom resume is always better when mailing. This site will also need to link to my English 303 and 304 projects. I will just make a simple hyperlink to each. I also will have links to other websites like worth1000.com, lessig.org, positivespin.org, and a number of pdf files from 491a readings.

Your decision to link "other" projects and other websites to your web portfolio is fine, but you'll want to make sure that you provide clear contextual statements that explain to readers what they'll find in each project/site and why you've included it on your page.
