1. Paul Taubman reminds us to have and keep a Gravatar updated.
If you don’t have a Gravatar set up, it’s time to do it. As ‘silly’ as it may seem to have a Gravatar (a tiny image associated with your email address), there’s an important reason behind doing it that Paul shares:
You want to be visible. If nothing else, you want to create a brand for yourself. You want people to start to identify with who you are whenever they see your picture. Your avatar should be an important part of your online presence.
