Congrats, your work now has the exposure to make wonderful things happen. You are on the world wide web. The accessible-at-any-time World. Wide. Web. Yes, you can update your online portfolio, that's what we expect you to do. A “portfolio” is always in flux and is never truly finished. But, as you update your work, you want to ensure that your site is always in a presentable state. You want to keep it fresh. The following tips will get you there.
* Purchase a personalized Domain Name and set it up so it redirects your visitors
to your WebAgent account.
* Activating the masking feature provided by the vendor that the Domain Name
was purchased from.
* Setup a personalized email (example: joestudent@joestudent.com) this is a
service provided by GoDaddy and is usually included as part of the purchase of
your Domain Name. Visit GoDaddy.com for more information.
* Only create groupings that you have work for. Avoid creating groupings
prematurely.
* Upload and assign your content to the correct grouping.
* Provide captions regarding your work to spark conversation with your audience.
* Replace the “WebAgent icon" that is normally used as thumbnail with an image
that is directly related to the content you are showcasing. (Example: an audio
file that is uploaded will be assigned an icon that has an image of headphones.
You should replace that icon with an image that is related to the audio file.)
* Upload a PDF of your resume or print portfolio so it is available to be
downloaded.
* Provide a text version of your resume and or bio in the text field located on the
site options tab. This information will be displayed on the “about page” of your
WebAgent site.
* Make sure the dimensions of your images are sized correctly. The images should
not exceed 600 pixels in both height and width.
