Personal Website?

The lead instructor / consultant at the outplacement firm I'm working with said now days in the job hunt, the big thing is creating a "personal brand". Resumes, she says, are more just requisite paperwork. What sells you is truly marketing and branding yourself to distinguish you from everyone else.

To that extent, she recommended I create a personal homepage not just highlighting my career and skills in Lean Six Sigma, but also to establish those things that make me unique -- such as my boxing, illustration, and community service work.

I've never gone about this, but I'm sure I'd have no problem developing something with Microsoft Frontpage. Can anyone recommend the best route to go for hosting (ease of use and cost) and getting my own domain name?

No drawing for today. Here's another one of Mark Kistler's lessons, if you're playing along at home.

Good luck on the webpage, Ive also heard that lately people make their Resumes in an Interactive cd, I saw a few that were pretty nice, definetly not an easy task. About the hosting check this link out: http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Hosting;jsessionid=54C81EDFB045CF0E00B7...

I use mydomain.com - it's super easy (I figured it out)...And once you set it up with your frontpage, it's like 3 clicks to publish...Coincidentally - I just took my webpage down since I just applied for a job! LoL...
