I hadn’t even thought of having an avatar. I had no idea how this influences brand recognition. Thanks or this info.

Building a brand in various forums is very important. In my last business I kept the same avatar for many years. The avatar was specific to me and no one else in my company. It is hard to make people understand how much being consistent matters.

I left a comment on your site, Jeff, and it’s working great.

Well, after finding out that my host had wordpress and how easy it was to set up I decided to switch from blogger to wordpress. I installed the MyAvatar plugin and I think I’ve got things set up… but, I need someone to post a comment to see if their avatar shows up!

So far I’m liking wordpress much better! And, its on my domain now!

Hi Jeff,

I use the MyAvatars plugin for WordPress to show people’s avatars. I’m not sure if there’s something similar available for Blogger, but thanks for stopping by.

I’m trying to figure out how the images are showing up on your blog.

David, I guess that just makes for ‘mystery’ to see what is written below the image of my duck. ;)

Hmm I supposed so, but it is confusing, and if its about setting somthing up for self branding purposes, i think its not the strongest solution.

Thanks Vivien!

I do my best spell names correctly. I think it comes from my second name, and constantly having to make sure others spell it right. Well, I’m sure being a graphic designer makes me focus on details too.

DT,

Cheers for pointing that out, although as Andy said, Maki at Dosh Dosh and I have had a discussion on our logos. One of my old computer drafts is much closer to Maki’s logo, so I’m glad I continued to change it from here:

webduck,

Your avatar stands out from the rest in my sidebar images, even if the type is almost illegible. Good work.

Personally, I remember logos much better than I do faces in avatars. I began using my webduck logo just on a whim (because I hate pictures of me!), but then I began adding it everywhere. It’s on my blog Pentimento, as well as my newest WP blog iPentimento. It is my “brand” and people will still know that it is my site no matter the name of the blog.
