I think putting a face or a name to your blog helps establish it as more of a brand and less of just another blog in the mix.

Promote your name and face along with your blog to help give it a personality.

So how can achieve this?

• Use your real name when commenting on other blogs. Obviously linked.
• Have an author page. Instead of having an about page that is just about your blog, have a seperate page about you – the author. If not have an ‘About the Author’ section on the about page.
• Get to know other bloggers within your niche.
• Use your real name as the author of your posts. People will soon associate this name.

People like a character and a personality to associate quality things with. They like to see the mind behind the creativity.

It also allows people to put more trust in you. In a sense. It’s sort of trivial with this aspect as somebody putting a picture up of themself doesn’t neceserraily mean anything to me.

Content and reputation is what’s important.

So if you have a nice unique blog. Make sure you promot yourself along with your blog.
