The idea of a blog to display your work is great. Last year, I was at an aviation convention with my father. We were talking with a vendor when my dad asked if they had any brochures or literature that he could take back to his office. Most of the vendors have their literature on large display stands, but this particular vendor didn’t have any. The sales rep we were talking to told us he had several, and that he would go grab them for us. When he returned, he handed my father a business card with a built in USB chip that had all of their literature stored on it. I absolutely fell in love with this idea of marketing, and I see some similarities between this idea and the idea of a blog.
In the future, I will probably work to entirely redo my blog. My particular career field of choice doesn’t really require much graphic design work (really none at all) so I think my blog will be geared mostly toward relevant examples of my work with writing. I would also probably be interested in creating an area where people can contact me, as well as a page that lists references.
