Exposure Room

Exposureroom.com

This site has places for audio, video, photography and scripts.  It will also create embed code to place the content on other sites.  You can credit different people for different parts of the production – ie camera, lighting, or script for a production.  It is great, because it acts as a central repository for all of your media.   Free for most of your needs.

Buttons

I don’t advocate template based stuff, but if you need a quick and easy button for your site, this might work. http://cooltext.com/

Writing Web Page Bios

Below are some resources to help you write your bio.  The bio of a portfolio page is a vital way for people to learn about you.

How to Write Your About Me Page – From Problogger.com

http://www.problogger.net/archives/2006/11/24/how-to-write-your-about-me-page/

From the article:

There are four main questions that readers want answered on your about me page:

1. 1.      who you are…
2. 2.      your expertise and how it addresses…
3. 3.      their problem or goal, and how they can…
4. 4.      contact you

Here is a sample “About Me” page that answers these questions:

Hi, I’m Jane Smith and I write TransitionMomBlog (who Jane is) to help women make the transition from full-time mom to successful entrepreneur (the reader’s problem or goal). I started TransitionMomBlog in 2004 (Jane’s expertise – shows she has been blogging for two years) to help other women deal with the sometimes overwhelming prospect of starting a new business while still running a household (how Jane helps them overcome their problem or achieve their goal). Prior to raising my family, I spent over ten years as a teacher, corporate trainer and workshop leader (Jane’s expertise, both as a mom and a business person). To contact me, please email XXX (how to contact Jane).
