Portfolio Examples
We estimate that more than ½ of all web.unc.edu sites are used for professional portfolios. Here are a few examples.
These first one is the most common one, as it uses the default theme. You can find hundreds of sites like this one. It has a rotating front page bulletin area where you can highlight news items. Jeff is a staff member at UNC. http://jeff.web.unc.edu/
This portfolio to the left highlights the work of Charles Kurzman who is a professor of sociology. He uses the sight to help promote his book The Missing Martyrs: Why There Are So Few Muslim Terrorists as well as projects he is working on. He uses a very sharp theme and incorporates a video of himself talking as his static homepage which adds a personal touch. http://kurzman.unc.edu/
The next portfolio to the right is a faculty member in the Nursing Program . She uses this site for her research, as well as classes. She was one of the first and introduced the service to many of her colleagues who also now use web.unc.edu for their portfolio’s. http://dkmayer.web.unc.edu
Below is the portfolio of an undergraduate student (http://bajomo.web.unc.edu). He does a lot of graphic design and wanted to highlight his work.

It may be too much to expect that official UNC web sites are proofed by a copy editor, but as these sites represent UNC, they ought to use correct grammar and punctuation.
The very first sentence of this web site is: “We estimate that more than ½ of all web.unc.edu site are used for professional portfolio’s.”
The way to make a noun plural is to add an “s.” Apostrophe+”s” is used for possessive.
Oh, and in the same sentence, “We estimate that more than ½ of all web.unc.edu site are used for professional portfolio’s,” “site” should be “sites.”
Thanks Robert for this. For some reason we didn’t get notified of your comments, but I just saw it and fixed this for the author of this page. If only we had a professional copy person!
Someday maybe…
