An experiment in personal branding

A few months ago, I bought the domain gha.ly. I was ecstatic at the thought of having a domain which was my last name.

Then my coworker Jeff came up with the idea of starting a site with the domain name http://rommy.gha.ly which would behave as a sort of personal portal or business card. Well then that was just an awesome idea. So I did.

Since I'll be spending the rest of my life living all around the world, with little-to-no hope of settling down at any point, I figured I'd make it easy for my friends and family to find me, whether it be crossing a border illegally in Nepal or eating herring out of a jar in Sweden, I will always be accessible in some way.

Thus rommy.gha.ly will, for the foreseeable future, be purely a site where people can connect to me or find me. I've optimized if for search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing, so if employers or randoms are looking for me, they'll be directed here first. Anyone will be able to call me via Skype or contact me via email.

Oh before I get lip from Bucky or JT or anyone of you other dbags, yes this is my recent foray into online nerdiness. No there is no reason for you to mock me in the comments (you probably will anyway), but definitely let me know what you think of it or if you have any ideas to make it better.

By the way, in case it isn't intuitive enough, there are arrows on the left and right of the home page leading to my links and contact info. I'm still questioning if I like the theme so if you know of any other basic WordPress profile-like themes, let me know.
