Bluntly, I would say you need to corporateize it up.
All the advice here is good.
Also, it's cool that you wrote your own framework, but right now, the jobs that map to your skills are Wordpress and Rails jobs. Your framework is an example of your capabilities.
You're a Rails/Wordpress developer, X years of Rails experience, Y years in the computer industry. You have Z academic experience relating to the field.
Your code examples probably should be on github.
Understand that making your representation quirky does you no good unless the hiring manager wants quirky. I've not met one who wants that yet.
You need to be precise, clear, lucid, humble, and confident. Clearly express what you're good at, and don't focus on the weak areas.
For your resume, take a look at Rands' "A Glimpse and a Hook".
Most Rails developers are finding its a VERY hot field, so I would encourage you to introspect as to why that isn't the case with you. Maybe attend Toastmasters or something?
Good luck.
