I updated my Gallery portfolio!
I finally updated my portfolio!
This weekend I discarded dead or lightweight projects from my portfolio and added some recent ones.
I was putting it off for months, finally a headhunter asked me to update my résumé for a $100K job (tell your kids that there is a future in programming) and I realized I had to redo my portfolio as well.
I use Gallery, which embeds nicely in my Drupal personal site, but I provide a link to a page that will pop open the portfolio in a customized window, nearly full screen. The base page also provides a link back to my web site.
I also added the RSS of the portfolio to my Feedburner account!
AND I added the portfolio sitemap to my Google Webmaster account.
It's a little tricky because you need to verify the site with Google and Gallery creates "virtual" URL paths. Here's how I finally did it:
In my gallery directory I renamed main.php to 0main.php so I could create a sub directory gallery/main.php/ with a subdirectory sitemap gallery/main.php/sitemap/ and in sitemap I placed a blank html file with the Google generated metatag in the head. I had to name the html file index.php becuase I got access denied with index.html - gallery/main.php/sitemap/index.php - so that worked for verification, then I deleted the main.php/sitemap/index.php folder and renamed the 0main.php file back to main.php
Success

Wow, a $100K job, amazing. It's a lot for us here in the Philippines. I wonder if I can turn my hobby (website development) into a profitable career. I don't know where to start, can any body share how?

"If you don't want to view the Portfolio full screen in a new window, click here"
Takes me to a page that says "File is writable by others, please fix permissions and try again."

error fixed, not sure where that came in, it was working last time I viewed it, must have been the manipulations I made to get Google Webmaster Tools to verify the site.

It happens.
No matter how many errors you find and fix, and then afterwards test and find nothing, it's always someone else who discovers an issue.
Usually a client asking why something doesn't work that when you tested had worked fine.
