Today I’m kicking off a new series: Reader Participation Monday. Today’s topic is blog avatars.
I have noticed that all of the “good” blogs that make a strong connection with their readers have a beautiful mug shot of the author on the front page. /Gulp. Gitr is one fine looking dude, and Bloodr is smoking hot, but face it; they aren’t pounding the keyboard.
Many of you have noticed that I have a nice mug of my wedding photo in my tux on my About Me page, but that requires a click to make a reader connection.
YOU have the power to vote what goes on the front page. Shall it be:
- my RL picture
- Gitr’s picture
- Deadr’s picture
- Bloodr’s picture
- other wonderful suggestion
What are you waiting for? Vote!
I think you should update it every other day with a new scene of WoW with one of your characters in it ๐
How about a picture of me?
Xialus, great idea. I’m marking that one down.
DM, you are one hilarious dude from the UK. BTW, I watched What Not to Wear on BBC America Saturday. It was really cool to see how the “original” differs from what we have on TLC here. I can’t believe they took one poor woman’s cloths off in the 360 degree mirror. /blush
I agree with Xialus but I think that you should also rotate in pictures of yourself.
Ah, sounds like we’re looking at a Flickr kind of thing. Must…see…if…self-hosting…script…exists. Good, good. Keep them coming.
I agree with the rotation, but I can imagine how cumbersome a daily change would be, so I’d say weekly. Say every Monday throw a new pic up there ๐
That is certainly manageable without a script.
Oh god please don’t let this poor man subject us to his UUgly mug every day…..the horror!
