Dr Tanya of Salted Caramel is back with a new blogging question.

TODAY’S QUESTION:

How important is your Gravatar to your blogging persona?

I have a Gravatar. It’s just a little introductory paragraph about me. I set it up when I was very new to blogging. In the theme I currently use it always appears at the end of each post I write.

I think it is important, especially if your blog does not have an About page, although I have one of those too. That little picture and paragraph lets people know that I am a real person and tells them a little bit about me. I hope that helps them to decide if they would enjoy reading any of my other posts.

I do have a photo on it. It’s not a new one. It’s a few years old now but I rarely have my photo taken and even more rarely have one that I like. I do update the Gravatar from time to time and if I get another good photo I will post a new one.
