Nice work adding an RSS icon. I recommend using a third party feed supplier, such as FeedBurner. It saved me when my domain was stolen last year, because my subscribers were kept separate, so I could inform them of my circumstances. There are also some nifty stats and features supplied.

I’ve added an RSS subscription button now - it’s something I overlooked because I never really use RSS feeds myself, but realise it’s a good way to keep hold of repeat-visitors.

Appreciate your comment about the header. I may have gone a little too minimal there, and the white-space is actually disrupting the flow.

I think you’re on the right track with the simple, easy-to-read approach, and enjoyed looking through your portfolio.

I’ve never used TypePad, so am not clued in on the capabilities, but if there’s any way to add a ’subscribe to comments’ option, it’d be a plus. I see you highlight the RSS comments feed, which is an alternative, though not as efficient in my opinion.

When I first visited your site, I half expected an image of some sort to appear near the top. There’s quite a large gap between your title and where the content starts, I thought something was missing.

Thanks very much for your recent feature of my own site! That was kind of you.

As well as showcasing my work, I can express my own personality and show my interests and influences. On TypePad there’s only so much behind-the-scenes stuff I can do, meaning I can spend more time on the content and less time CSS-wrangling (something that took up a LOT of time when I used Wordpress or Indexhibit). Plus feedback from peers is always good, offering fresh perspective on my work.

It’s nowhere near as detailed as your site David, but it’s a start! Any opinions would be welcome.

If you think I can help in any way, just let me know.

Bye for now.

Hi Lauren, Thanks for checking out my portfolio! I think my resume is the problem..I will try to make it more appealing. I saw your site, and your resume is very consistent and to the point. Gosh, I guess I need to market myself better…they never taught me that in school. Love your photo portrait btw!

*gets back to frowning at her resume*

Some wise words from Lauren. Going solo is certainly an option, and it’d be a real shame to give up on your talents for a non-creative role.
