I'm curious .. what makes a good resume for a developer (in other words, a hacker) ?

I've had one job in my field since out of college (same one since I finished) and I've learnt a lot but I have no clue how to really portray it all in my resume.

If I am applying for a development position do you think the hiree will care that I have experience with SEO, building brands, etc? How does one portray it? Are cover letters that important for a development position? And so on..

I've had a tough time finding well written articles on this subject but Scoble has made some definite good points, now I'm more intrigued

A website full of cool things you've built.

What would persuade the hiree to actually go to that website?
