Avatars?

by gregbell 5/9/2008 6:35:00 AM

Hey gang, I'm actually starting to learn some of this blog stuff, and I am very pleased to see many of you have joined me here. Please bear with me if it takes a little time to get back to you by email or in the comment section. While I love corresponding with all of you, I still have to actually schedule and host a channel (and radio show) each week as well, so time can be a little tight sometimes.

 Okay for all of you wondering about those goofy, yet colorful and happy, little icons that pop-up alongside your comments - you can customize them. Hey, I know many of you longtime blogger folks are rolling you eyes at me thinking, DUH!

Anyway, for the rest of you like me who are still learning all this you can go to www.gravatar.com sign-up for free and pick your very own icon, either from the web, from their site or even your own computer. I've updated mine with one of the few times I get dressed up. In October I had the pleasure of introducing the late, great Jimmy Durante into the Radio Hall of Fame and that meant a wearing a "monkey suit".

So if you like the little goofy guys, please feel free to keep usin' 'em, if not head to gravatar and get your very own.

Greg.

The only face I had for my favorite 'voice' for the longest time is my avatar.
Phil Harris is a constant source of enjoyment for me but his voice work on Disney movies has been with me almost my whole life and I'll be forever grateful to him for doing those jobs...

John,

Aww, you beat me to it! Not only is Phil Harris my favorite but we even share a birthday, I should have grabbed that avatar! You win it fair and square, maybe I'll track down Thomas O'Malley from Aristocats.

Have a great weekend.

Greg.

Now it is up! Yes the owl is what I wanted but had some blue blob at first.

Hey Greg, I would never leave you. I am ridiculed at how much I listen to XM. Even with my copies of some of the show I have purchased, I rather listen to you telling us cool tidbits.

I may not have time to visit often, but if you put up the poll and announce it, I will be back in a flash. I am very interested in what your listener base prefers.

Keep talking, Greg

I am also a fan of Phil Harris. I have enjoyed following his career and antics on the Jack Benny show from when he first took over as band leader in the mid 1930s. You can tell that he was a little timid at first, but it is obvious that J. Benny knew he had a gem on his hands, and enlarged Harris's role with every passing week. What fun.

dog training tips

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
