Wow! What a way to show off your samples!

Date January 16, 2008

I can’t remember how I ran across this writer or his article directory, but I had to share his unique idea for sharing samples. He has used an article directory program to create his own directory showcasing his work.

Although I’m sure it was quite a bit of work, I think it could be a great idea. Instead of trying to find samples that are appropriate for a particular job, your potential client can look up the articles that deal with their topic to see how well you know that topic.

The only suggestion I’d make to the writer are to include contact info on the article directory itself. I bookmarked this link a while ago, and I know I found it from his resume page. But now it’s later, I can’t remember who he is, how to contact him or what his resume page URL is.

Are there any good sleuths out there who would like to track down this guy for me?

    Very cool! I had the thought to do this at one point, too, but it seemed silly at the time. Just think of how many articles you could build up over a period of time though!
