Portfolio Tip #1:
Don't let vanity prevent you from getting started. In other words, never wait to post your work because you think it's not good enough. When I first got started, I held off on putting anything public because I didn't think it measured up to the level of those I admired. So instead, post what you have today regardless of where you are in your career. You can always swap your old work for new examples as you create them.
Portfolio Tip #2:
Are you using WordPress? Then make sure to delete unused themes and plugins. The same goes for unsupported themes. If the developer stops updating or supporting their theme, it's time to trade it in for a new one. Using outdated themes and plugins makes your site vulnerable to malware and exploits. And if you're in this for the long haul, pay the extra money for "managed WordPress hosting" that offers daily backups and malware scanning. I learned this lesson the hard way.

I love the first tip! I really suffer from imposter syndrome, and I tend to devalue what I know and what I can do. Yes, I'm new at this, but I also didn't know half of what I know now this time time last year!
