Hey Simon, thanks for the insight.

I totally agree on all counts, what I'm presenting of myself is way too vague. I guess the main reason behind that is that I don't yet have any practical experience in a relevant field, which leads me to fall back to the very generalized "I make cool stuff for the web" tag line.

I don't want to pigeon-hole myself into a niche that I'm not sure really describes who I am and what I can do. I've looked at awesome examples of other dev's portfolios, and noticed they all have a pretty solid "I do X and Y for Z company in such and such role." I'm not really sure how to translate my personal learning experience into something tangible to represent myself in so few words.

I appreciate your taking the time to look it over!
