I make color printouts of my contributions to a Web site when they are
posted. There's no point pointing to a URL that might change while you're on
your way to an interview.
I usually download the Web site as it stands when I contributed to it. That
way the company and their Web monkeys can change it however they like in the
future, and I still have my samples that I can print out or use for screen
shots.
There's a great piece of shareware you can use to download a Web site called
WebCopier. I used it to prepare some presentations for the STC Chicago
Conference and it worked admirably (too bad the projector didn't!). It's
available for downloading from http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10067-100-5382976.html
