@acallegaro I do have a small profile page with them. But I'd already had my Jekyll site for years when Knowledge Commons started, so I initially made my KC account mostly to use their discussion groups ( https://hcommons.org/groups/ ).

Joining also lets people make a profile page. They're similar to websites but much simpler. Here is mine: https://hcommons.org/members/foureyedsoul/

This year I've started making a few little zines related to pedagogy, accessibility, or open education. (I was inspired by this zine a colleague made. It's hosted on a different Jekyll site I helped make: https://infolit-idaho.github.io/infolit-for-everyone/zines/#sift-zine )

For the pedagogy zines project, I'm trying to decide if I'm going to just make another Jekyll site (since I'm familiar with that process) or if I might expand the project into something I do with other people.

If I do end up making it a group thing, I'll definitely use Knowledge Commons for the website. Other people typically find WordPress far easier to pick up than Jekyll's publishing process!

@acallegaro Have you seen Knowledge Commons? It's run by academics at a public university in the USA, and it gives you a WordPress site, an institutional repository, and other things for free.

I wouldn't quite say that it's a *full* replacement for LinkedIn—I'm on both, personally—but I certainly think of it as a better alternative.

Since you're interested in Digital Humanities, having a different type of personal site (or a few project-specific ones) might also be useful?

For instance, I taught myself to use Jekyll and GitHub Pages precisely as a small demonstration of having specific technical interests/skills, and that seems to have worked out nicely as a thing to discuss in job interviews.

I'm now an Instructional Designer, so being able to talk about a range of tech (from Jekyll to WordPress to more approachable) has been very useful. So again, having complementary sites might be worthwhile?
