A good friend of mine recently approached me about creating an online resume for him. He wanted it to be incredibly simple and to focus on the content.
So that's what I did.
This design is quite a departure from what I usually do. Normally, the designs I create include standard content sections like a header, navigation, content body, and footer. Since this site had so little content, I decided to jettison those concepts altogether.
So because these content divisions were non-existent, and because there was so little content, I decided to keep all of the content on one "page", and to create divisions through a javascript slider (I used Adobe's Spry framework , if anyone is interested).
Although I was hesitant, I submitted this design to several design galleries. To my pleasant surprise, it was featured by a few of which I've been trying to make for a while with my designs.
Here are the galleries which have featured this one so far:
css creme
css design yorkshire
mostinspired.com
boxedcss.com
To be perfectly honest, I was not expecting a lot of response on this. However, I think the focus on content and design simplicity attracted some attention, for which I am grateful.

Welcome to my blog. I am often asked what "Exist/Dissolve" means. Well, that is certainly a good question, and I am currently in the process of discovering the answer myself. Prima facie, it strikes me as encapsulating the existensial crisis that is our lives as finite, contingent beings. For a brief moment, we exist, and the next we dissolve into the nothingness of non-existence. From a theological perspective, it is, for me, a sort of ad hoc apologetic for resurrection - i.e., if to exist/dissolve is the human dilemma, there is nothing inherent to the person that guarantees existence, either now or "after" death. Therefore, resurrection is at the same time both the height of absurdity (for it is a notion entirely alien to the paradigm of existence to which we are naturally enculturated) and the only hope for the human to persevere beyond the pale of death.

I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for Philipnewton.com. Unfortunately the website was not quite what I was hoping for. I'm not faulting the design. I was just hoping for more pictures and possibly a "members only" section.
The javascript slider is pretty slick. It could have done wonders with photos.

deviantmonk ejaculates (in the 19th century manner):
I think the animation for going to page 2 of 2 of "Experience" is misleading- the arrow points to the right, but the animation pulls it from the bottom. When I first saw it happen, I thought it just reloaded the page.
Also, even though I know they don't do anything, the little arrows next to the content headers makes me think they should bring up a drop-down menu.
And put up some freaking pictures. I need eye-candy. At least the male model from the design you showed me last night.
Other than that, I like it, and the shout-outs from the other two places are surely more meaningful than my ignorantly offered opinion. Ok, let's be honest- they're not, but I thought I would at least feign humility.

Honestly, I could go for more pictures too. The "members only" section is hopefully in the works... :)

btw- you should never hesitate to submit stuff to place where people can see it. Views are the only way to get people to give you money to make them something.
