So, as a college senior I really need to start getting my personal portfolio website live and full of content. This is one of the things I have always found extremely difficult as I never know how to present myself. I was hoping the FP community could give me some ideas 🙂

I did have a portfolio but it became tedious to maintain with work and so I turned it into a blog. If you just want to show off work then just have a one page website, but if you want to keep active on it with lots of content, split it into sections/pages and add new content regularly.
Pictures are a must with portfolio sites as well.

Present only your best pieces and keep updating it as you create new and better work.
I have kept a portfolio for my graphic design stuff, but always kept it updated. Some pieces that I was particularly happy with, I kept in there forever. It's also not a bad idea to ask a professional in the field to have a look at it and see what they think.
I'm graduating from a software development course this summer, so putting something together for that too. XD. Basically, I'm just putting my stuff on a github, so that I can stick it on my resume.
I will eventually create a proper portfolio site for all my stuff, but I do want to have something right now. It is honestly the hardest thing to do. Even as a designer, I find it difficult to design for myself because I'm over critical of what I do XD.

Please send me a PM, and I would be more than happy to help you with your ePortfolio! I have an internet startup, citiera.com, where people can make their own online ePortfolios, or personal portfolios.
One of the best pieces of advice I can give is to make it simple. Don't overload your ePortfolio with a bunch of technical stuff (link to it), as HR folk have no clue what any of that stuff does.
