Just checked your video. Thanks for the example. I love your existing avatar as it’s slightly quirky and gives the impression of someone with lots of ‘tricks up their sleeve’ which it seems you have.

[...] Go to Twitter.com and click “Get Started-Join.” Think carefully about your username; I personally recommend use your real name. If I could wind back time I’d use Suewaters, and not dswaters, because branding with one unique and recognizable online identity is better. [...]

I like the dinner photo better, too. I don’t like pics of myself either, and the ones taken w/the webcam on my macbook…oooh, ick. That would be an issue for me w/video, too, but I guess I should stop being so vain and just get over it.
This is all very helpful for me, a new blogger trying to develop my online persona. In twitter I use a non-photo avatar (that I love but have no rights to), on my blog I have a photo of myself that is several years old and on other sites I have various combos of the two (and more). I was thinking of asking my 7 yr. old to draw a picture of me and using that as my avatar, but you’ve made me re-think the value of trying to get a halfway decent picture of myself to use.

Hi, just posting a comment as per twitter request.

It does this:

1) You click on name field. The cursor appears a few lines above the field

2) You start to type. The cursor jumps to this comment text box.

3) You click on name field. The cursor finally goes there.

4) There is a check box below this comment box with no label on it.

This is all FF2, Windows.

I don’t think you look old in any of your avatars. Do I get extra points?

@Simon like that … dangerous look in the eyes. Cam definitely live with it. So you saying your normally clean shaven? You’ve spoiled all my thoughts.

@Stephen Thanks I started changing my photo but will take some time. Hadn’t thought about it in terms of posed and not posed.

@Christine There is so much to consider with visuals – I hadn’t even spotted this aspect.

@Sarah your videos are excellent. I love the humour of the first video — which is such classic Sarah — like the free gloves. The second video is better quality but doesn’t have the standard Sarah wicked humour
