Congrats again on baby Jade (love her name!) and on the job and math! I'd say that hatred of math runs in Grandma's veins considering grandpa taught math at some point (didn't he?) and my dad seems pretty good at it. I hate it too though! I'm pretty sure I danced the day I passed math 1050! Sounds like your summer has been treting you well. Congrats again on baby Jade (love her name!) and on the job and math!

]]> Comment on My New Portfolio Web Site by Amberly http://www.mileshillier.com/blog/?p=203#comment-1809 Amberly Sat, 27 Mar 2010 21:06:24 +0000 http://www.mileshillier.com/blog/?p=203#comment-1809 It's pretty! In regard to professionalism, I was super confused by your homepage. I get that it was flashing logos you've done, but I just thought the link must have been broken and I was at some other company's web page. Also, your resume page is kind of a mess. You should not have to use entire sentences explaining why each job ended. It sounds like you're making excuses and that leaves a terrible impression. In my opinion, of course... and Beau's. Beau spotted at least one typo on one of the web pages you designed. I think the word was collectables. Collectibles is the correct spelling. If Beau spotted it with the glance he gave it, other people will too. Finally, why the heck are you showcasing photos of animals? There are so many mediocre pictures of animals out there, if you're going to include photos of animals in your portfolio they had better be stellar! And they're not. Sorry to say. If you can fit a few of the best into another category somehow, that might be better than giving them a whole page. Showing your animal shots just isn't likely to generate business... and everything about this site should be geared toward generating business, or people won't take you seriously. Hope I wasn't too brutal! Sounds like Mom had plenty of tips too! Good luck with everything! It’s pretty!
