PROGRESS UPDATE
A goal of Kim on their 101 Things in 1001 Days list with a status of Done.
I finished this goal only a month or two after starting the list, which surprised me as it wasn't a small task and I hadn't expected it to be done so quickly.
At the time, though, I was looking for jobs and felt it was pretty important that my website be redone to focus more on my assets as an employee than my services as a business (which was now defunct) - so I had quite a lot of motivation to get it done.
The new website wasn't amazing, but it was well-coded and showed off the design and coding skills I felt were most relevant to the jobs I was applying for, so it did the job. It can't have hurt, because I didn't do too badly at getting job interviews after that.
