MORE PebblePad! - WebCV and blogs

Hmmm, PebblePad blogs...bit basic, aren't they? I guess if you use PebblePad for lots of other things, you might also want to use the blog facility, perhaps for compatibility reasons?? I prefer Blogger! It just looks more professional, and also has the added excitement (!) of anyone from anywhere in the world visiting through clicking on the 'next blog' option; I think that is how Vicki was discovered by Geraldo from Brazil...

I may be in a minority here, but I really don't like the WebCV option; just personal opinion, but I think it looks too cheesy, just a small step away from enclosing a teabag, scented notepaper, colourful envelope etc. To my mind, the best CVs are simple, accurate and clearly laid out, with no need for gimmicks. When I was teaching, I was regularly involved in the process of shortlisting, and it was always content rather than design that I was looking for. What do other people think about this option?
