I have used LinkedIn before for job hunting, it is a good place to connect with recruiters. I would agree with freedomben's comment, its very corporate though

I have used LinkedIn before for job hunting, it is a good place to connect with recruiters. I would agree with freedomben's comment, its very corporate though. If you are looking to go the "get hired by my work" route I would say your energy is best spent blogging on another platform. Since you are working on getting ready for your portfolio project I would sue something like GitHub pages, Ghost, or Medium to host your blog for now. I think it's great to blog about your journey, I would also consider tweeting about your experience as well! Best of luck to you though!
