I’ve been writing about Facebook more than I used to and I’ve been creating custom Facebook tabs for clients.
After tediously emailing potential clients the links to Facebook pages I’ve worked on, I finally took some screenshots and made a portfolio of them using NextGen Gallery. I’m always working on other sites and rarely stop to update my own.
Happy 4th of July holiday weekend. I prepared this post but otherwise I’ve been celebrating by not using the computer. I even closed my email, which I almost always have open. It was hard at first but now it feels like a relief.
This week I have links about being nice, job fairs, WordPress, plugins and consumption.
Last winter I wrote about photoblogging plugins for WordPress. Recently I’ve been using NextGen Gallery with clients and have become a lot more familiar with the plugin.
My friend Manshu also brought it to my attention that the screenshots on my portfolio were outdated. For example, we had installed Thesis on his site but my screenshot still showed his old theme. I decided to redesign the layout of the portfolio using NextGen Gallery. This gave the portfolio a new look and gave me more experience with the plugin.
Two weeks I encouraged you to spring clean WordPress by making backups, upgrading, removing unused plugins and more. I have finally decided to take my own advice and have done some (Anti) Social Spring Cleaning.
I hate to admit it but I often give advice before I actually follow it myself. But there, I’ve admitted it. Between writing articles and working on other’s sites, maintenance on my own site often falls to the bottom of my todo list.
There are a number of online tools to assist in building an online resume or portfolio. Here I will be discussing two of them and showing the examples that I made.
They are Krop Creative Database, and VisualCV. I considered adding LinkedIn but I think most people have heard of it and may devote a separate entry to it.
I’m sure you have at least a familiarity with LinkedIn but have you heard of the other two? Before I started doing research for this article I had only heard of LinkedIn and even though I have a LinkedIn account I have not used it to it’s full potential.
