    rflctdsilence,

    I think your intensions are fine - to have an HTML resume that has a few 2.0-ish features. It says at least something about your ability.

    However, you should really consider the fact that the web is an altogether different arena than print. As was mentioned many times, the tag cloud simply does not translate well to a printed document.

    Aside from that, the typography is just, well, just bad. You are taking a lot of information and making it inaccessible to a lot of people.

    You cannot quickly synthesize much info from your resume, outside of the awkwardly large tag cloud.

    And if you're a developer... why on earth are you worried about exporting your resume to PDF... shouldn't you be setting up styles so that this thing prints beautifully from your browser?

    And lastly... hopefully this is the last bit of advice anyone gives you. Everyone here has gone far beyond what they'd typically do to a normal troll. Either take our advice or leave it.
