I'm not too worried about how many initial contacts I get through my profile page - in fact I probably get a lot more from the wordpress blog. What I do like about it,is that it provides a more formal reference for my study- so someone discovering my blog can then use a link to the profile page and realise its a formal study and much more than just one person's hobby.
