Should I change my avatar?
I've been using the same ugly mugshot on here since I joined 2 years ago. Is it time for a change or is it better to keep it the same to make me more identifiable to those who already know me?
I think that depends with you. If you like it, you can keep it but if you feel you need to change it, well you know what they say- a change is as good as a rest
After two years I'd change it, but only because I'd personally be getting bored with it by then.
you can change it. your score still stays the same as far as I know. Not like that matters. Your readers and followers will still treat you as they normally do. Change is good as they say. Me I like how I look. It makes me laugh. "The eyes are the window to the soul". or "I didn't make it big yet so I'm not letting anybody know who I am", at least not until the picture in the back of my book is done. Gotta finish the book.

I know many people have changed their pictures to resemble what their hubs are and I want to make sure my readers and fans know clearly what I write about most often and what...

I've noted that some of you hubbers change your Avatar as often as I change my underwear....about once a week. Does the appeal of a given avatar affect your hits? Or is it your mood or personality of the moment? Afre you more apt to read a hub if the avatar is sexy as opposed to a...

I changed my avatar today to reflect the mood I was looking for. Since it's cold and I'm stuck inside,I picked a bright pink flower to remind me of warmer weather.Do you change often and I wonder if a face is better?

Hi! I was thinking about this for the past few days: I think my avatar is very, very boring. simply a pic of me at the beach. Question for you: Do u think it's unwise to change your avatar once you've been using it for a while OR do u think it's a good idea to change it to mix things up a...
