A new profile picture

< How Plurk helped me to improve my tagline : All about related content >

Today we took some new photos, and my favourite is now on my About page.

Let's compare the old and new photos...

Yes, I have new glasses. I've had these for a few weeks but I've only just got around to posting a new photo.

I think a good photo is an important thing to have on your About page. You don't have to make it as recognisable as mine is, you could use an unusual angle if you're not keen to put your photo online.

It may seem like I'm very happy to put photos of myself online. I think it's more that I'm used to it. The first time you put a photo of yourself online it can seem a bit daunting. It does get easier though.

Ben, you hottie, you! Now that I know what you look like with your new glasses I can fly 'cross the pond and come stalk you. ;-)

Good picture, Ben. I've been meaning to update my About page. Your new pic was a good reminder.

VERY nice, Ben! If you weren't young enough to be my son and I weren't happily married for the last 25 years, I would be tempted to immigrate :)

I'll break the theme. You remind me of Jay Sankey. I'll let you determine if that's good or bad.
