The Face Behind The Blog Collection

Published on May 8th, 2007

Face Behind The Blog

“One picture is worth 10,000 words”.

Chinese proverb

Putting a face to the name of someone you haven’t met helps recognition and adds a more personal feel to your conversations.

As blogging is truly international, and the chances of meeting the people behind your favourite blogs are slim, today I’m announcing The Face Behind The Blog meme.

What photograph shows you in a light we don’t often see through your blog?

Using images in your blog is one of my 6 tips to improve your blog articles, and in this case it’s simple:

1st step

Post a short blog article that includes a photograph (or a series of photos) showing the face behind your blog. If you already show a photo somewhere on your site (such as in your about page), then make your post more interesting and choose a photo that’s not currently online.

2nd step

Include links to other people that have displayed a photo, or include their photos in your post, adding a reference. Here are the others who have participated so far:



































Steve at Ramblings from the Marginalized

































Chase at Queer Chef
Hanne at Lucid Unreality
Jill at Gelb9
Tish at The Kat House
Jessica at Life is RANTastic!

Logtar at Logtar’s Blog
Julie at TeacherJulie.com
Wilson at Get it Funk
Sue at Life in the Urban Zoo
Isabelle at Tricotine

Alternati at Sarcasm Aside
Mousey at Sasha Says
Diana at Nazarene Family Services
Jen at Expat Travels
Meeyauw at meeyauw

Tammi at Drawing on Words
Jams at The Poor Mouth
Mar at maremagnum
Karen Delaney at A Strange Life
Lynnette at The Fun Times Guide

Trish at Incoherent-ish
Lisa at Lisa C Writes
Becky at Becky’s Nook
Dora at Peppylady
Renny at RennyBA’s Terella

Autumn at Autumn’s Meadow
Jen at Jen’s Horde
Sandy Carlson at Writing in Faith
Captain Lifecruiser at Sea Lifecruiser
Trinity at Rooms of My Heart


A link back to this post is much appreciated, to help create a more personal community.

3rd step

Tag as many others as you like in your post to spread the meme.

4th step

If you link back to me here and send me an email. This isn’t absolutely necessary, but it’ll help me to keep track of the collection (I have an idea or two for a Face Behind The Blog showcase).

Each person tagged should create their own post and repeat the process.

I hope The Face Behind The Blog Collection spreads for quite a while so there’s no set deadline to the project. Hopefully we see a trail of tags, posts and links for some time to come. I, for one, enjoy putting a face to the name when I’m communicating on the web.

I’ll do my best to collect all of the photos, posting updates along the way. Apologies if your post isn’t included above, but I’m very busy with client work, and the time I do spend on my blog is on new posts, and responding to comments.

Without further ado, here are my personal entries into the collection:

David Airey in Edinburgh
Resting after a climb to overlook Edinburgh on a Sunday afternoon (above).

David Airey in Bangor, Northern Ireland
At my parents home in Northern Ireland with my girlfriend Catherine (above).

David Airey in Mongolia
Enjoying a drink on the Trans-Mongolian Railway, somewhere in the Gobi Desert (above).

David Airey riding boar
My favourite past-time, wild boar rodeo! (above).

And since I’m kicking the photo project off, I’d love to see the face behind The Thinking Blog, Essential Keystrokes, Graphic Design Blog, Dosh Dosh, DMiracle, Business Blogwire, Frankophilia and Successful Blog, .

Everyone else, please do take on The Face Behind The Blog project and start it off yourself!

PS. Feel free to use the graphic image at the top of this post.

    Thanks David - I’ll have to go digging through photos tomorrow and see what is suitable for posting.

    I love the train picture - what an adventure!

  2. Web Design Minnesota, on May 9th, 2007 said:

    Wow, what great pictures! I have to say, you are definitely right about being able to see blogger’s pictures. It makes it more of a personal experience plus then you don’t feel like you are just reading something written on a computer (you have a connection to the writer).

  3. Tara, on May 9th, 2007 said:

    Oh.. I hate having my photo taken, I usually disappear when a camera comes out. I’ll see if I can find a picture of Angelina Jolie or something, my blog will probably get more hits then.

  4. David Airey :: Creative Design ::, on May 9th, 2007 said:
    Ilker,

    I’m afraid those pics don’t look much like a 22 year old male. If you like, I’ll offer you some blog feedback as soon as we catch eachother on IM?

    Char,

    That’s great you’ll join in! I’ve often wondered what you look like. The train trip from London to Beijing was absolutely superb!

    Web Design Minnesota,

    Thanks for stopping by, and for the compliment on my photos.

    Tara,

    That’s not playing fair. ;) Besides, Angelina Jolie is too skinny in my opinion.

  5. Asgeir Hoem, on May 9th, 2007 said:

    Great idea. I’m always rather disappointed when seeing people’s About pages. They’re usually hiding behind the comfort that the net provides, which makes it harder to relate and connect.

    I bet the rodeo picture is a killer when looking for new clients :-D

  6. David Airey :: Creative Design ::, on May 9th, 2007 said:
    Asgeir,

    Funny you should mention that – I’m actually in discussions with the WBRA as a result of this post!

    That’s short for the Wild Boar Rodeo Association.

  7. Aaron :: miLienzo.com, on May 9th, 2007 said:

    I’ve been up that very same hill on the edge of Edinburgh. Nice view.

    Nice idea for a meme - although being the most unphotogenic person in the world, I’m keeping my head down.

  8. Gayla McCord, on May 9th, 2007 said:

    Great idea! I love seeing photos of my favorite bloggers a little more out of their element. It does offer a more personal feel.

    One of my absolute dearest friends, I’ve known online for nearly 5 years now and we’ve never met in person. We share family photos ALL the time. It’s as if we know each other and families so well.

    Another of my dear friends I met online and only saw once or twice a year was actually my Matron of Honor in my wedding. She flew here from England just to be with me on my special day.

    The internet is so much more then just black words on a white background and too many media outlets focus on the bad — not enough on the good.

    Thanks for starting this meme. I’ll be sure to join in. :)

  9. Pinksy, on May 9th, 2007 said:

    I kind of like the anonymity to be honest, but there’s a random pic of me (or my daughter) top left of every page, so technically I’m in!

  10. David Airey :: Creative Design ::, on May 9th, 2007 said:
    Aaron,

    It’s so peaceful up there. I’ll probably head back up this weekend. That’s cool that you’d rather not participate, but I think your avatar shows you in a good light.

    Gayla,

    It’s amazing how connections are made online. So much has changed over the past decade in that respect. I actually met my girlfriend online (not a lot of people know that – at least they didn’t). Looking forward to your post.

    Pinksy,

    No worries at all. There are a few others I know who prefer to remain anonymous too. Cheers for the comment.

  11. Dawud Miracle, on May 9th, 2007 said:

    Hey David

    I will participate. Just under a mountain of work and leaving for SOBCon on Friday. So it may not be until next week.

    If I don’t get in early next week, feel free to tickle me by email.

  12. Rob O., on May 10th, 2007 said:

    Great idea, David! Count me in! I’ve added a blog post with one of my favorite recent photos of Dede & me.

  13. Sean, on May 10th, 2007 said:

    Awesome idea! I’ve got to search for some pictures of myself now lol.

  14. J David, on May 10th, 2007 said:

  19. Wendy Piersall, on May 11th, 2007 said:

    David - this is an absolutely brilliant meme. It’s hard to keep up with all of them - even harder to read them all because they seem to get redundant at times. But I want to RUN out and see every single one of the participants who get tagged with this one!

    Leave it to the creative artist-type to come up with such a wonderfully visual meme! ;)

  20. Dave, on May 11th, 2007 said:

    The Trans-Mongolian railway looks fun. I would love to go out there.

  21. David Airey :: Creative Design ::, on May 11th, 2007 said:
    I’ve updated the post above to include links to your face behind the blog articles. Thanks for joining in Char, Gayla, Paul and Rob. I look forward to seeing some more!

    It’s great taking a look at bloggers away from the computer.

    Sean, Dawud, Wendy, that’s great that you’ll participate! Let me know when and I’ll add you to the list above.

    Dave, the Trans-Mongolian was an amazing trip. I caught a train in London and ended up in Beijing, about a week later. It cost the same amount as a flight but I saw so much more.

    Everyone else is very welcome to joing in this meme too!

  22. Gayla McCord, on May 11th, 2007 said:

    David ~ That’s great that you met your girlfriend online. My mom met my stepdad online 8 years ago. They’re a perfect match!

    Not many know this about me either — but if it had not been for the internet, my husband and I would have never reconnected.

    My family are all based in Ireland, although I live in the Scottish capital, Edinburgh, with my wonderful girlfriend. It’s not far really.

    Keep me up to speed.

    Dennis,

    What a great post you made! I left a comment on your website and I’m about to add you to the list above.

    Thanks for joining in!

  37. Phil Gerbyshak, on May 26th, 2007 said:

    Wow David, quite the cool set of pictures you’ve shared. Make sure to let us know how that sponsorship for the WBRA works out for you!

    This is a powerful meme that encourages us all to get out from behind the blog and show the real personality of who we are. I’m working on my article right now, and hope to have it done soon, thanks to the brilliance that is Dawud Miracle.

  38. David Airey :: Creative Design ::, on May 27th, 2007 said:
    Phil,

    Thanks for stopping by! I’ll keep you all informed of my sponsorship dealings and am looking forward to seeing your contribution!

    Hi…was just browsing and searching the creator of this meme and I got here at the end…I would just say thank you for this meme.

    I was tagged by a friend and wondering how its started as curious as me I found and stumble here in your site.

    Stay Cool….

  79. David Airey :: Graphic Designer, on July 27th, 2007 said:
    Chris, Haze,

    I’m glad you enjoyed the meme and thanks for taking the time out to comment. Much appreciated as always.

  80. Thomas, on July 31st, 2007 said:

    It is cool to see the level of participation this meme has had. Every once in a while it seems to stop, and then it picks back up again.

    I have noticed quite a few new links, but I don’t see any updates to your master list.

    Will you be updating your list soon?

    Thanks again for starting such a cool meme.

    Thomas

  81. David Airey :: Graphic Designer, on July 31st, 2007 said:
    Hi Thomas,

    Where are the new links you speak of? I thought everything was all up-to-date.

    Cheers for stopping in again.

  82. Thomas, on August 2nd, 2007 said:

    Sent you an email with the links that are not on your master list. I am commenting on these blogs to remind people to send you an email to get on the master list.

    Somehow Step 4 got modified to people inserting their own email address and so the link to the creator of the meme was broken, so you didn’t receive updates.

  83. thess, on August 2nd, 2007 said:

    Hi David! Thomas left me a comment telling me to notify you that I’ve been tagged. Thanks for starting this meme David :)

    but I wasn’t really informed who started this and your link, that’s why there was no notification coming from me. Anyway I will instruct those I tagged.

    have a good day! :)

    You’re very welcome, and kind of you to let your own tags know!

    Chinnee,

    It’s my pleasure to welcome you here. I’ll visit your own blog now.

    Hi, David. First time commentor here. I just found this meme quite by accident. It is a great idea. I have often wondered what sort of grotesque figures are behind some of my favorite sites. Thanks for setting this up!

    I’ll be adding my own nasty visage in the next few days.

    Great site, by the way.

    I have no idea who started the meme when it was passed to me, now I know.:-)

    This was an excellent idea and am glad to have taken part in it. It’s neat to meet its creator. I will gladly edit my ‘face behind the blog’ meme post to include the link here since this is where it all started :o)

    Hi david,thanks again for this fantastic meme. Frankly,I enjoyed every bit of it! Loved that boar photo of you. Cute!

    Could you do me a favor ? Pls.change ‘o’ to ‘a’ of pinoy. To our lingo, pinoy refer to male and fortunately ??(lol) I’m not.

    Thanks very much!

  97. David Airey :: Graphic Designer, on August 8th, 2007 said:
    Hi Cheh,

    Glad you enjoyed the meme, and sorry for my lack of cultural awareness! I’ve changed Pinoy to Pinay - and won’t make that mistake again.

    Bye for now.

    Hi David, thanks for the adds up. I had fun eventhough it was a bit confusing at the beginning. BTW, all the comments on this post looks a bit weird. I am using Safari and I noticed that maybe the html codes is broken somewhere in your post. As I write this, when I click my mouse, it directs me to this site: mybloglog.com/buzz/members/ilkeryoldas/pics/.

    Weird. Or maybe it is just me?

  99. chase, on August 9th, 2007 said:

    I did this meme but I didnt follow most of the instructions though especially listing all the links coz it will make my post seems like a mile long which is usually tend to avoid. I hope that is okay though.

  100. chase, on August 10th, 2007 said:

    Btw, I forgot to say that this meme is such a wonderful idea!

  101. David Airey :: Graphic Designer, on August 10th, 2007 said:
    K,

    Thanks for letting me know. There shouldn’t be an issue now.

    Chase,

    Good of you to participate, and glad you like the idea.

    I just posted! :) You should have gotten a pingback, but I don’t see it here.

  103. Julie, on August 19th, 2007 said:

    Hi David, I just posted my entry about this meme. I really had to look where this started so I was able to go to your site.

    I’m sorry I didn’t include the list you’ve got here and I just linked the two friends who sent me this meme. Anyway, I had your email on the 4th step intact so in case those I have tagged would like to be added to your list they may be able to do so. Thanks for starting this meme.

    Have a great week! :)

  104. David Airey :: Graphic Designer, on August 19th, 2007 said:
    Hi Tish, Julie,

    I’ve added you both to the list above, and Julie, no need at all to apologise for not including links to everyone.

    I really think it is great of you to follow up and keep us dated about the growth of this meme as it shows the power of how networking works in blogsphere!
