Unless you really have intentions of selling your site, you should just open all your code. There isn't much of a reason to keep it private, because potential employers can't view it.

But more to the point, you would have a better chance of getting a job in NYC than in SC. Just keep coding. Finish your projects too. Finish that site you are making. I would be more likely to hire you if you showed passion and interest in coding. And a big part of that for me is finishing the projects you start.
