Actually, I don't believe so.  If someone judges you by what you can do
with one page, then the evaluation isn't very valid.  The resume on the
web is simply that...a means of having additional access to the resume.
Making a complex web resume to show HTML skill would would have the same
validity as making a complex hardcopy resume to demonstrate desktop
publishing skills and we all know what a bad idea that is.  The resume
shouldn't demonstrate LACK of a skill, but not be the showcase for it.
The content of the resume, along with their evaluation of your portfolio
and their subsequent discussion with you is what should be used in
evaluating the HTML skills.

HEY! Are you coming to the NJ TechWriter lunch?  So far, about 10 of us
are.
Ask me about it.
