Personal/Professional Site: What to include on it.

JobHuntFilter: I'm currently scoping out lower to mid-level IT jobs in the Nashville area. I have a site setup already with my resume (several different formats). contact info, RSS of my tech articles, and a brief 'who I am' page. Anything else I should put on it?
Has anyone run across a site like this that really caught your eye?

Response by poster: Right.
I am thinking more of actual content vs. code, though.

Right. Maybe consider some testimonials from clients/former employers? Otherwise, you seem to have nailed it.

Work samples are always nice. Programmers might post some code snippets or API documentation, Sysadmins a particularly well-commented config file, DBAs an E-R diagram. Giving a potential employer an actual work product to look at can really make a strong impression.
Just make sure that it makes a GOOD impression. I interviewed a Java programmer that posted an incomprehensible code sample that he couldn't explain.

I'm trying to build a similar site - what helped was a bio of myself and some work samples, with explanations of what went on within the project.
