Hey Reddit, a friend of mine wants to publish her portfolio online for free, any suggestions?

She is an Architect-grad, and has a print version of her portfolio completed (as a .pdf file). Though I think I can do better than just help her upload the .pdf. She is still looking for a job, and with money being tight, I want to give her a hand with whatever I can. Does anyone know of any good/professional sites that will cater to this type of thing? I'd appreciate and pass on any other tips/input as well.

Edit: So far I've found: wordpress.com, tumblr.com, KMblog.com, blogger.com and hostmyportfolio.com. Thanks to Wherein, also joomla and drupal. It'd be great to hear if anyone has experience using any.

Edit2: We found and decided to use Issuu.com. Great site, converts any PDF into an interactive booklet/magazine.

I'd just build a simple html page with a link to wherever you host the file.

A reasonable approach would be to use a content management system (CMS) like wordpress, joomla or drupal. There are many others out there also. These cms have many "themes" available created by third parties , many for free.

There are sites out there that offer free hosting for the more important CMS's

Thanks dude, I have come across wordpress.com, tumblr.com, KMblog.com, blogger.com and hostmyportfolio.com so far. I'll check out joomla and drupal. Any links on the 'more important' CMS sites by chance? Do you have any personal experience with any of them? (ie: user friendly, features, etc)
