Blogivist of the Month: not w/o an avatar!

Posted by: nichall  |  Posted in: How to..., News, Tricks  |  Posted on: 10-24-2008

So you’ve been missing lunches, neglecting your children, and ignoring your spouse all in a desperate drive to throw up one more post a day to win October’s Blogivist of the Month.

Great, but many otherwise superlative blogivists have failed to complete perhaps the least demanding task for Blogivist of the Month: adding an avatar!

Blogs without an avatar will not be considered for Blogivist of the Month. Why such an emphasis on avatars? We need a graphic associated with your blog for promotional purposes should you win. That and, frankly, we’re sick of seeing a stream of blue pens on the live feed (see right).

You lament, “I’ve already tried to put up an avatar…multiple times! It didn’t work.”

Fair enough.

Here’s the problem. Your image must be larger than 500px x 500px. Anything smaller than that will simply not work. I know – the admin says “75px x 75px”. That’s wrong (and as soon as we figure out how to change it we will). For the time being though, make sure the image you use for your avatar is greater than 500px x 500px.

So ditch the default and get a real avatar now! You wallet will thank you later.

    Yeah, it was the image size thing. And it was not “the least demanding task” so far, but whatever. You guys are all young elitist techno snobs; we old folks realize that. (LOL – kidding!!!)

    I hated the blue pens, too. DOWN WITH BLUE PENS!!!

    Thanks
