I think Problogger's post is really useful to look at for the pages you may want to add. The problem with small samples of translations is that most of our stuff is confidential by nature. And to ascertain the quality of the translation, you would have to be able to understand both languages. I could advertize some of the books that I translated. Must look into that. @ Jianjun I read somewhere that you can make some blog pages 'static', that could be a useful way to deal with it. Will look into that this Summer. @ Amadou Great tip! I followed the creation of Caroline's free e-book, and derived some useful insight from reading it. Caroline Middlebrook is always a great source of inspiration. @ Karen

I read somewhere that you can make some blog pages ’static’, that could be a useful way to deal with it. Will look into that this Summer.

Websites are mostly static Blogs are updated with fresh content 2. Websites are stiff in format and language Blogs are personal and intimate. 3. Websites are easily copied Blogs are not that easy. 4..... And that's the very reason I delayed publishing my new site again and again. I am still not sure whether to keep that or simply re-direct the domain to /blog. ;) Nice post.

Nice post.

Today a blog makes much better sense. The ease of updating content and the interactive nature really can eliminate the need for a static site. I will be going through a blog move and adding pages so have had to ask myself many of those questions as well. For a translation site, I would like to see areas of specialization, information about the translator, perhaps small samples. It is great that you are sharing from what you are learning. It helps many of us who are going down the same path.
