With all the blogs I’ve been writing lately, I’ve needed a profile pic for almost every one. My selection is limited since there aren’t that many pictures of myself that I like. Finding a profile pic for the more serious blogs is the most difficult because I want to look both respectable and approachable.


From L to R: Genetics and Health, Play Library and
Cotton-Pickin’ Days, and eMothersOnline.

The first picture was taken on a subway train in the San Francisco Bay Area over a year ago, the second was taken this month, and the last earlier this year in Singapore.

I’m not the only one who’s been using the same old picture over and over again. Christina Jones, my friend over at eBeautyDaily, has been using her profile picture for a while too.

What about you? Do you have a favorite multi-purpose profile/user pic? If you don’t mind showing your face (ha!), leave me a link to the pic in the comments or e-mail it to me. I’ll post it up here and we can see whose picture is the oldest!

Kristina’s mug is the oldest so far. :)
See below for everyone’s pictures.
