Making a supplemental living or going pro with freelancing online requires a specific skill set–and a toolbox containing all manner of special tricks and techniques. Â Building your toolbox while refining your skills comprise a fair amount of the work involved in creating a freelancing career, and one of the most important items in your toolbox is your portfolio. A great freelance portfolio should highlight your talents and give potential clients a meaningful way to choose you amongst your competitors–something that can be especially critical during your first few months, but which will remain important as you develop your reputation and experience.
As with many aspects of freelancing, creating a great portfolio doesn’t come with a standard manual or guidebook. It’s up to you to present yourself and your work with clarity and to express your value to others. But there are certainly many tips you can use to help structure and supplement your portfolio, and you’ll find some of the best below.

The Power that Social Media provides its amazing, it can enhance a Business Online Strategy. Owners and managers of Small Business are listening so much about Twitter and Facebook. However not many know how Social Media will help their business. Getting your gears ready before starting the Social Media Strategy conversation with a prospect client, its only the first step to evangelize its benefits.
Only a few business owners and managers that I have worked for/with, know the benefits of having an extended online relationship with their customers through social media.
The Internet has made the world a smaller place, especially when it comes to online business – it’s now just as easy for a company to attract customers in Nairobi as it is in Nevada. This technological globalization doesn’t translate to cultural homogeneity, though–while you might be able to find a McDonalds in nearly every city on earth now, that doesn’t mean that every city eats and thinks and shops in the same way.
Web developers, you guys are really lucky. The tools available for you as a group are very powerful and they come in all shapes and sizes. With the introduction of Google Chrome, the community has made some amazing extensions which are very easy to use for every day work. Below you have the ones I consider most useful (starting with the best, of course 
).
Though issues of layout, typography, and various other page elements are bound to take up plenty of time for web designers, many take a special delight in the creation of headers. Whether for corporate web pages or personal blogs, forum indexes or e-commerce sites, a good-looking header can make a lasting impression on visitors, and is likely to be one of the most important concerns for design clients. Using vector graphics for header design has been gaining momentum as a design practice for several years, resulting in clean and attractive visual schemes that leave out the potential pixelation and fuzz of raster graphics.
When you’re reading around the web about what to focus on when creating a web page, and you’re sure to find a host of opinions which, in total, insist that every single page element holds the secret to attracting traffic, pleasing visitors, or simply “doing it right.” Though some page elements are necessarily more crucial in terms of their uniformity than others, designers and developers can count on the essential nature of the HTML meta tag on any given web page.
Meta tags are capable of telling search engines and other interested parties key information about the contents of the page, the meta tag is arguably as important as the page’s actual title–yet it leaves greater room for taking advantage of keyword use and relaxing the rules of style.
The beauty of the Google Chrome Extension gallery is that it is virtually uninhibited by any sort of approval process. This allows tons of extensions to be uploaded into the wild in real time. Every couple weeks, I go through and find the best and/or the most promising extensions that have recently been added.
The following extensions are no more than a few weeks old, and thus, it’s highly unlikely that you’ve seen them yet (unless you have no life, like me). Keep in mind that since these are brand new, some of them may have bugs here and there. The good thing, though, is that extensions from the gallery automatically update in the background without the need to restart the browser, and extension developers are usually more receptive to adding/removing/fixing features when their extension is newly released!
There are twenty-three extensions and two themes to try out. Feel free to give any of these a quick try! If you decide you don’t like it, simply right-click the extension and select “Uninstall” — Simple as that! No restarts or anything!
Ready? Here goes!
