What do you put in a Front End Developer Portfolio?

I've read around that I should make a good portfolio to land a job. What am i supposed to put in it? I'm guessing some projects(duh) but, does that mean multiple websites? or Files that contain code that I've written? I've never really understood this question. It'd be great if someone with a Enormous brain would help me out! Thanks!

I don't think there's a finite or exhaustive list of things to put on a portfolio. A CSS/HTML website would be a definite. A website that uses JavaScript interactively in some way. A website that's built on jQuery.

A website that uses Node and either connects to a server or is deployed on a server.

There are people out there with bigger brains than mine but this should give you some ideas at least :)
