E Portfolios

Ah, the E Portfolio. To be honest, I hate them. I find that they lack a real customization to be able to really get across who you are. They also make me very nervous, as the only ones I've used to date have been job search related. I had to create one to apply for my job at NHCC (I imagine this was through the efolio link that was available since that was through MnSCU).
Today I signed up for a portfolio through Visual CV. It was ok in terms of usability. I liked that I could import my LinkedIn profile, which made it pretty painless to populate my history. I don't expect that I will ever return to the site unless for an assignment in this class.
I was interested in some of the other portfolio sites for artists, but since what I saw seemed to be for visual artists, I didn't know that they would be any more appropriate for me as an author than the other, more job oriented sites. I really feel that keeping a current blog and pointing people to a professional website about me is more appropriate for me as an author. I'm also not looking for a new job right now. Because of this, I made my portfolio private (available only to those with whom I share it).
I found it very curious that my name (3 different versions of it) had already been taken as a username. I have an uncommon name, and it's usually very easy for me to use it as a handle/username. I wound up having to use BFrykman.
I intend to look into this more and see what sort of electronic portfolios exist for authors/editors. I'm sure that they're out there.

As a side note, thanks for the positive feedback on my last (well, first) post. Myra, I look forward to answering your question in my next post. Because my original thought behind this blog was a chance to write about zombies, I'd like to have at least a little something about them, so here's another pic. I had the chance to be a zombie extra in a movie made independently last fall in St. Paul (I believe they are still trying to get the funds to finish shooting and unfortunately I have yet to see any footage). Here is me zombified by a professional. I know that it looks kind of cheesy, but I think with the lighting used it will end up looking right on film. It was never explained to me whether the black stippling was some sort of mold associated with the virus I was infected with or whether it was soot from the building on fire next door. Your guess is as good as mine. Further bummer: the huge gash on my forehead made with thick blood fell off before we filmed. The makeup artist said she'd reattach it but never did.
