You can now add avatars, or what are little pictures, usually of yourself but they can be of anything really, to your wordpress profile. It will be associated with your account.

If you’re a regular at wordpress.com to figure out what’s going on with your wordpress template, coding, or what’s new then why not put a face with your name. Like a lot of forums these days you can add a picture of your face and have it show up no in tags, posts, and comments pages.

Have fun with avatars and show off your good looks!

Are you looking for traffic this fall? Remember it’s back to school time which means there are literally millions, yes you heard that right, millions of eyeballs that are back in college and being influenced by their peers.

It’s a new year which means new freshman to get into all the hip and trendy new college hangout sites. When they should be studying, they’ll be uploading college sillyness to YouTube.com. When they should be studying they’ll be reading about how thousands of people make thousands of dollars just by placing ads on their sites. When they should be studying they’ll be reading your blog!

Now, what to do with all these new eyeballs. Think viral, think college, and think useless useful info. Just get in front of those eyeballs and you’ll be sure to get some new traffic. Get talked about and use all those new college sites to promote your own must have trend.

Believe it or not, even though you’ve probably just started blogging, and probably been using some free service such as blogger, Blogger is 7 years old. My guess is there are some 6 yera olds out there that have a few Blogger blogs.
