Look, how spontaneous!
Avatar noun av·a·tar \ˈa-və-ˌtär\
1: the incarnation of a Hindu deity (as Vishnu)
2a : an incarnation in human form
b : an embodiment (as of a concept or philosophy) often in a person
3: a variant phase or version of a continuing basic entity
4: an electronic image that represents and is manipulated by a computer user
(Definition courtesy of Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary)
Those of us in the blogging world are most concerned with the 4th definition. Our avatar is our calling card. It represents us wherever we go in the WordPress world, and it even follows us beyond the WordPress friendly confines when we venture onto other internet sites.
When you’re out and about, visiting other blogs, a brief glance down at the avatars attached to comments tells you who’s already come to the party. You perk up when you see a friend and gravitate toward them. Or you may be drawn to an unfamiliar face when their words lead you to investigate a possible new friend.
Your avatar is uniquely yours, and the same goes for your blog’s header. Instead of being a traveling calling card, however, it’s the welcome mat at your home.
The problem with avatars is they’re so small that you sometimes can’t make out the detail. Even if you can, you may not know what it means. We choose our avatars and headers for very specific reasons, but the significance isn’t always clear to others. Inquiring minds want to know.
Here’s what my avatar and heading mean to me.
The avatar is a picture of me playing on a sproingy, metal sheep. It was taken when I was in Frankenmuth, Michigan with family about 6 years ago. We were strolling, shopping and trying to digest a huge lunch when I spotted the sheep at a kiddy playground. I had to hop aboard. This picture (carefully arranged, then selected from an exhaustive series of shots taken by a professional photographer, and then meticulously Photo Shopped), shows how fun and spontaneous I am.
I used to use a landscape photo of the Connemara region of Ireland as my header. The beautiful austerity of the area touched my soul. I changed it because that poetic crap isn’t funny.
My current header depicts the evolution of mankind from dumb primate to fully-upright, evolved Man. Things went kinda downhill from there until it arrived back at me. The tag, “you say you want an evolution” is a play on words from the Beatles’ song, “Revolution.” You’ll notice the ever-present picture of me on the sheep now sports painted-on yellow hair and red shoes. This highlights the fact that I am a glamorous, (used to be) natural blond. I also like to think of myself as having the kind of life that calls for fire-engine red, stiletto heels, even though I can usually be found in Easy Spirit Fun-timers with the Dr. Scholl’s orthotic inserts.
That’s me, now what about you?
Fellow bloggers, what does your header show? How about your avatar? If it’s a picture of you, why did you choose that particular shot? And are you really a Hindu god?
I left my heart…in Connemara
Peg-o-Leg's Ramblings 
How is it that I’m FIRST to a Peg post? I need to go back to bed. But on Gravatars, my blog is dirt first THEN kids. Always has been. Who is my biggest garden hero? Why, the Lion of the Garden, the green anole! My son has been called the ‘anole whisperer;’ he can put his hand down toward them and they will climb up his wrist and perch on his shoulder. No kidding. He’ll do this with frogs too.
So any hooo….a green anole with a dead beetle in his mouth is everything that DirtNKids is about. We ain’t funny, not even poetic. It’s just a lizard-eat-bug world over here, lots of green and lots of spiders! It’s why my followers are in the 10’s and not the 10,000’s like humor blogs are. No one likes reality!
Cheers, Peg. Always enjoy your posts!

Wow this got me thinking – my avatar is just me drinking a cup of coffee, which is pretty accurate, it’s either that or beer and my mum prefers the coffee pictures. It’s the same picture i use on Facebook and Twitter so I’m consistent but I don’t know if my picture would tell you much about my blog, which is mostly meant to be funny. Me doing something funnier than drinking coffee would maybe be preferable…

The avatar replaced a crappy old one that I didn’t realize was crappy until a blogging friend said it didn’t do me justice.

I played around with so many avatars in the first year of blogging. I even used my kindergarten photo with my tortoise-shell glasses. Horrifying.
But then a wise friend by the name of Angie Z. said to me, “Darla! For god’s sake quit changing your avatar and header! Pick one and stick with it so people will recognize you!”
I took my current avatar photo with my crappy laptop camera, totally spontaneous … with the typical “slightly cocky/smirky yet contemplative with a touch of snark” side-glance executed perfectly peeking out from behind a giant plaid coffee mug. It just so happened I was also wearing a plaid shirt and BOOM. My stupid plaid/coffee Maineiac brand was born. And is slowly dying now but that’s another story for another time.

The temptation to do a variation on the tempest in the teacup was too delicious to resist..and eventually became the name of my blog.

I originally started my blog as a platform that prospective employers could check out for samples of my writing. A web designer told me that was “the way to go.” So that’s what’s up with my avatar – I’m trying to look professional, but only half of me is. I’m wearing a ratty pair of shorts and flip-flops on the bottom half, but all squeaky clean up top. Who knew!
My header is taken from Venice, Italy. We went there a couple years ago, and as soon as I walked over the bridge to the island, I felt at home. It was the neatest feeling. But times change, my friend – I’m now figuring out how my blog should be more a reflection of my humor writing, and not what a future employer might want.

My avatar is a a long story; its a picture I took during my first year in law school. Basically, we had done this mock oral argument competition where we would argue one side of a case or the other, and then the best arguer advanced. (I washed out in the first round). That particular day, we’d got down to the two finalists. In law school the first year students are divided into two sections, like Hogwarts Houses; one finalist was from my section, the other was from section two. So I and some of my colleagues in section one decided to make placards to cheer on our finalist. Since the case was a criminal one, she was arguing the government’s side, so we did USA. I did the Superman shield round the S. I liked the way the picture came out. 🙂 It seems to symbolize how I like to study serious things, like the law or politics, but combine that with fun and superhero movies. It’s a pity my law school didn’t have a sproingy metal sheep though…

Mine is simply because I have a thing about wee decorative birds and the colour blue. I chose this sketch because the bird looks quite thoughtful, which seems right for blogging. The one I have for the header is a singing bird – because when I started blogging it was about me finding my own way to be content with myself – have deviated from that concept since then to a more random whatever-is-in-my-head. Sometimes I do other bird sketches to go with posts; but that can become such a palaver!!!
