On the plus side, Coroflot's site has more features, such as tracking visitors to your portfolios, and the number of hits that each image receives. And they also post some very sweet design jobs, although apparently no employer in the entire state of TN uses this feature. On the down side, though, the coroflot site feels a bit cold and clinical. I think the carbonmade portfolios look better, simply because of the interface (the thumbs are larger and everything looks better on a black background). So I'm keeping my coroflot portfolio but am rolling the dice and recreated my carbonmade portfolio too.

Now just out of habit when I finish a project I make myself a jpg file of each thing in case I want to post it later. Thanks to Todd for letting us in on this great portfolio FREE tool!
