Want to know how people get there picture on blog articles? Many sites, including this one, support “avatars,” which are small pictures. You can sign up for yours here: http://en.gravatar.com – and it’s free.
You’re probably asking whether this is a solution looking for a problem, but it’s all part of personal branding. If you want to become a subject matter expert on your chosen topic, getting your mug out there on relevant blogs will help. A face is so much easier to remember than a name! If you keep hammering away it it, people who don’t know you will feel they’re your best friend.
If you want to see what this looks like, look for this image at the bottom of this article (number may be different), and click on it.
