Small But Important Details To Get Right On Your Website

Sites that don't have human-readable URL's make me sad.

Also, I'm not entirely sure that having a picture makes that much of a difference.

And from an employer's standpoint, a resume with a picture can cause trouble with equal-opportunity laws because it makes them aware of your age, race, and gender.

Agreed on the human-readable. "http://blah.com/f.aspx?415235132,15231525671755124,251255215... just is wrong. I also believe they should also be easily memorized. Because "http://example.com/01/43/74/22/why-should-we-all-use-shorter... isn't as memorable as "http://example.com/2013/clear-and-concise-writing/.

Also, it can be some sense of discrimination or reverse discrimination, but for those jobs that require face to face interviews, it doesn't matter a whole lot.
