Including personal web site on resume

No.

How much can you afford to pay to have one professionally written? How about putting up a snapshot of yourself? I'd dress up the links at the top - like one per line, and a little blurb for each. I'd add some kind of heading as well.

If you'd like, I snagged this "under construction" thing somewhere, if you want to inject a little humor:

Good Luck! Rich

HTML is almost trivial:

The problem with C is that the compiler expects the programmer to know his elbow from a hole in the ground.

Yeah, I know. It's just one more thing on the never ending list of stuff ... :-)

Or, Joshua Held's old "under Construction" website

since then, he's finished the website, but somewhere at his site you may still find it.

I agree with most of the comments from others, but it can be taken too far. If a hiring manager were to look at my personal site when making a decision, they might (rightfully) question how many late lunches, three-day weekends, and 4:00 departures went into various elaborate projects that were obviously more interesting than whatever I was actually being paid to do at the time. :)
