This week I'm really putting a good effort in and working towards getting my online portfolio up and kicking. I'd like to be able to refer to it and use it when searching for jobs. I've got two at the top of my list locally that require a portfolio when applying so I can't wait to get this done. Ok, I can wait as long as it takes to do it right. Everyday I think I meet at least one goal and make some progress. I found alot of HTML4 has become obsolete or outdated (depreciated methods like the "b" tag versus "strong" tag and now font-weight:). The hardest thing to tackle is learning this new world of CSS. I can tweak templates but I really want to be able to type code with a good understanding. I suppose I could use Dreamweaver8 or GoLive and have it write the code for me but I've always been against that so why change now? Maybe I'm doing things the hard way but the goal is to get this portfolio completed so I can apply for jobs. Maybe at my next job we will use Dreamweaver8.
BTW, the riverfront job fair I went to on Tuesday wasn't much for me but I gave it a shot anyhow. It was a good day to get out in the sunshine and go for the drive. I picked up some info, some free pens, but I am really going to town no the portfolio.

This blog documents my job search process. I find it to be analogous to being a game show contestant complete with decisions, excitement, guesswork, hoops to jump, games to play, gambles, disappointments, showcase showdowns, and $64,000 questions, etc.
