Building an Online Portfolio

I figured it's about time I built an online portfolio to show off some projects I've worked on in the past. I was considering adding a "Projects" section to my resume, but if I did that I would have to limit the number of things I talked about and/or the amount of detail I went into. This will probably work out better since it's public and can be shared with anyone, instead of just employers.

I plan on making this a hybrid between a portfolio and a blog, so I can talk about other side projects and experiments that I am working on. I also plan on participating in the 1 Game A Month challenge soon(tm) (or maybe even the 1 Game A Week challenge! We'll have to see how motivated I am when the time comes...), and it would be nice to have a place to blog about that as well. I think I will likely just post everything as blog posts, and have a "Portfolio" tab that will summarize all of the most important things for employers. I should be able to use the tagging system to tag things as "Portfolio" and then just have a tab in the navigation bar that links to a search for everything with that tag. Or something.

The template of the blog is going to be pretty bare for a while, since I have no idea how I want it to look. I figured it's best to get the content up first and then worry about the template later. That's basically the standard programmer attitude towards any kind of art anyway...
