But there are some more indirect, more subtle ways to increase your blog’s popularity. One of them is the way you manage to combine your blog with your persona, your avatar.

I love that the avatar of the submitter of this article is a perfect example of the point made in the article. Whether on Sphinn, Mixx, Twitter, or Stumble I always see those red shoes and know who I’m talking to. It’s like proof in the pudding right here.

The problem in using your own face is that, unlike an avatar, it changes with time. :(

The Portrait of Barry Welford. While his avatar ages he stays the picture of youth ;)

...just don’t pick one with a creepy mustache.I think the avatar formula is pretty simple. Pick something other than the default and stick with it everywhere.
