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.

generally, what people are looking for is proficiency, creativity, and dedication.

all three can be seen by your designs, and how often you update.

even if all you have on your portfolio ARE icons and banners, if they're creative and aesthetically pleasing, it shouldn't matter. quality over quantity.

but to further answer your question, putting up a wide variety of artwork in terms of style and type should establish you as a dedicated designer based on the quality of your work.
