Professional Portfolios
Cheryl Ball: Cheryl used a self-hosted version of WordPress for her tenure portfolio.
Clancy Ratliff: Clancy uses Drupal as a content management system for her blog. She has included a professional portfolio on her blog site.
Sharon Gerald: I used WordPress to create my portfolio. Like Cheryl, I used the self-hosted version of WordPress, but I could have created the same type of portfolio on WordPress.com by simply signing up for a free account. I have an earlier version of my portfolio on Blogger. I created it as a sample for students.
