portfolio Options

i'm just gonna stick this here 'til somebody moves it to where it should go...webmaster's corner, maybe?

so, i'm starting to kind of plan out a portfolio (website), just to show off my skills when interviewers ask. i was wondering, what kind of stuff do you have on your portfolio? obviously, your work and info about you, but what else should and/or can be included in a portfolio, so it's still professional but personal? is it a good idea to include a blog (not one about typical teenage crap...), and resources you've made such as brush packs?
links, screenshots, or just a nice description would be great. it doesn't really have to be a portfolio, any "personal" websites will help.
thanks in advance.

Using a blog is a fine idea, especially if you have something to blog about. At least that's one way to ensure that you have some sort of content consistently being updated on your site. If someone is checking out your portfolio, there's a chance they want to know more about you and your work, so blogging about what you've been doing related to your site, art, work, etc. is a good idea.

Offering your own personal resources is a good idea, too - if you're building a portfolio there really isn't that much more to it, you seem to have a basic idea of how the site should work. :)
