Portfolio revisions

I decided that I want to revise my enthusiast blog and the web redesign project.
I picked both of these because there is a lot of work that can be done on both of these for my portfolio.

Plan for enthusiast blog:
-Change background color and scheme
-Add more to a couple of the posts
-Make the posts tell more stories as well as being informative

We Redesign Project
-Remake the events page
it has never been made before so I will be remaking the whole page from scratch

Understanding Web Portfolios

Key points for what makes a good web portfolio:

-Has to be a collection- lets the author show what he or she has learned by choosing and then revising their work
-It has to have a purpose-needs to fulfill specific standards
-Show concrete proof of abilities
-Pages have professional and consistent looking design
-Has to be easy to navigate
-Must practice rhetoric-art of convincing someone about something
-Can include reflective statements
-Honest and convincing self assesment
-Consistency
-Straightforward page layout
-Legibility and ease of reading
-Thoughtful use of emphasis
-Careful use of color
