True, that is part of the theory behind having my website with articles 
and code on it too. I've had several employers tell me that looking at 
my experience there really made a difference. I strongly advise that 
everyone have such a website which they list on their resume. Write some 
good code for real world projects and put it where people can see it. 
Offer useful tips that show you know how to do your job. Things like 
that. Although published by some reputable third party definately sounds 
better as a one liner on your resume. I shamelessly added my brief 
mention in Linux Journal last summer to my resume for the same reason. ;)
