[QUOTE="Fork, post: 152688, member: 10937"] The reason I don't use Flickr as my portfolio is because I dump a lot of my crap there as well as my best stuff. Although my Flickr stream is public, I [I]never[/I] direct people to my Flickr to show my work. I don't mind people finding it naturally or clicking through to it if I link a specific image from it, but I'd never use it as my main promotional space. My homepage has my best images singled out and on display. I can use Flickr as a storage area to look at my own photos in my own time. If you use Flickr as your main portfolio, be prepared to be harsh on your own photos and don't upload your mediocre shots and holiday snaps. I use Squarespace (see link in sig). I love it. It's customisable (or you can code your own entire website if you prefer), has a built-in blog, unlimited storage, is a piece of cake to use and links to all your social networks. Plus it just costs just $20 per month ($10 if you choose the lower tariff). [/QUOTE]
