Bidness

[gwyn]

Oh, flist that knows everything, I come to you with a question. I need to put up some kind of very basic web site with my resume, so that I can link to some of the work I've done that's available online (or put up some samples in hyperlinked pages, though I don't have a lot of that, as so much of what I've worked on was print). I have a domain and web site through A-plus that works well for me, but even though I'm paying a lot of money for the domain and such, I really don't want to connect my work stuff with my fannish stuff in any way.

I kind of hate the thought of having to pay yet more money to get another site and another domain. I can't use the one I get from my ISP, as that's already in use for my fanfiction (I never expected to get a fan site for vids this way, otherwise I'd have consolidated them long ago, but the idea of moving hundreds of stories over to the domain site with the vids and paying more money for more space makes me go into a slight fannish coma).

Are there any decent free services left out there where I could put something like that up? Would you recommend anything? I once had some stuff on geocities, but they gave me the blues, although since I wouldn't be dealing with copyright issues, I suppose things might be different.

Or should I just bite the bullet and get yet another domain? I can't even keep track of all this stuff! I have my home address, my Yahoo address, my gmail address, my vids site, my fanfic site... gah!

I'm just not sure where to go with this. I've never really had to do this kind of thing for work before, but if I intend to start freelancing more, having a resume that's easy to pass along and view for my contacts would be integral. I just... am running out of money, and running out time, and running out of a job!

Sorry! I know this is terribly off-topic, but I looked for a better post to comment on for a little while and didn't find an obvious place. And I'm running to a meeting but don't want to miss the opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed the vid "Bright Future in Sales."

I haven't seen Wonderfalls, but I can definitely tell that I'll be watching this vid again soon. It's quirky and cheery but not saccarine. Great use of the animals as the chorus and of the corporate props throughout.

Ooops. I just saw the link from your website to leave a general vid comment. *facepalm* Sorry!

I am rec'ing this vid on Saturday at the New2Me challenge at my lj--hope that's OK.

Thank you so much! And you know, I don't mind it coming in on another thread -- it gives me a chance to let you know how much I enjoyed Destiny Calling. I have been meaning to write some more detailed feedback and say more about it, and I hope to still, but this way I can at least tell you that it was really fun and made me feel almost hopeful about vidding and fandom, which lately, is kind of in short in supply.

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it and that it could bring you warm feelings.

I watched BFIS like three more times at least since I commented--it never fails to charm my socks off! :D
