What is a good WordPress plugin for displaying my CV on my domain?

I get my first set of student evaluations in the mail the other day. They are really good! How would I go about displaying these online for, say, potential hirers, etc to see? I was going to scan them and make a PDF*, but is there another way?

*Also because I can't stand having piles of paper when I could have a digital document.

I'd like to see a post about writing in books. A simple, low-tech hack.

I would like to see a post on making Powerpoint more interactive--- Possible plugins that will spice up PWPT.

Did everyone hear about the video game version of Dante's Inferno? Here's a call for a list of 10 other "literary classics" to be likewise turned into games: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/02/classic-games/ I would love to see this happen in a smart way that could actually be used in a classroom environment. How can we make that happen?

LAM, as someone who writes in books, can I ask for a bit more about what you're looking for? Tools or methods or something else in particular?

William, one thing to consider is privacy. People interpret FERPA in all kinds of ways, sometimes contradictory. I could see some places being concerned about, say, handwriting could be traced back to certain students. Some places may not care, but check that out.

For my annual review and tenure dossier, I typed out every comment on every evaluation and condensed every course into one document. I just got my evals, too, and I'll type the out over Spring Break, most likely.

Oh, yes, if I would put it on my domain I would type them. Like you, it will have to wait though!
