I've been looking at rebuilding my portfolio and have come across a guy called David Airey.His portfolio is mixed into his blog where he examines the work he does and the work of other people.
Do you think this works? Do you think that potential clients want to engage with your process and hunt around to find your work?
OR
Should you smack em in the face with your portfolio?

Personally go with your portfolio. I don't think the blog/folio thing works unless you've got a bit of a reputation and people actually want to read your current thoughts, processes day to day goings on etc.
- not trying to start a chicken vs egg here, but in order to get reputation, a good blog is essentialMeeklo

Smack em in the face, don't confuse what you do with what you like/appreciate IMHO, and don't use phrases like "Online Presence" to refer to your blogfolio...

I agree with Phil. Unless you already have a sizable audience...

It takes a lot of time for a blog to pick-up speed. Obviously this person was already established within his circles, he also has a kick-ass testimonial page. I think blogging is important, I know others who have blog pages linked to their folio and are very successful. I think you should just smack clients with your portfolio, unless like Jersey dog said, you have something good to blog about.
