Create a Title for your ePortfolio. We
recommend that you use your full

“The Museum of Me”, even. If you

your site, you will have the option to
change it later.

Select PORTFOLIO from the “Type of
Site” options.

Then click “Continue”.
Step 3: Make it official

Select “Use a Subdomain of Weebly.com”
then personalize your URL. Remember,
since you will likely be publicizing this URL
on your resume or business card, the best
thing to do is use your full name, and make
it short and sweet for easy recall. Make it
consistent with the site name you just
created.

Click “Continue”.
Step 4: Start personalizing!

Congrats! You’re now the proud owner of
your very own personal ePortfolio site.

feel” of your site.

In regards to actual content, the
ELEMENTS and PAGES tabs are
where you should look.
Step 6: Create Your Tabs

This is the only aspect of the site that we’d
like executive control over. From our research
and experience, these are the items that will
make your ePortfolio a huge hit.

Click on “Add Page”, and type in the PAGE
NAME provided on the following slide.

To add a sub-page, all you have to do is drag
