Likewise...my portfolio is not available online and I do have a web site,
but the subject is not for general consumption. I once posted a link to it
on this list and got all KINDS of flack for not warning people of the
subject matter. So I would answer no, I do not have an online portfolio, but
this does not indicate I have no HTML skills.
Besides...from the level of tech writing that I like to consider myself,
HTML understanding is assumed. If the client needs proof that I can do HTML,
I'll deliver a custom made page to him in less than a day.
In addition, I have in my hard copy portfolio, printed out, in color, the
first page of three previous web sites I've done for customers.
