For me personally, the points you both make are helped by being 'visible', with things like photographs, as an example. It's all very basic in a way, but people can relate to you better if they can create a mental picture of you in their mind. I love to infuse my articles with anecdotes, analogies and asides. They're a great way of communicating dry and difficult material in a simple and easy-to-understand way... Hi Jason, David!

Any thoughts. I have a photo on my resume page at Sciencebase.com and occasionally hotlink a personal photo in articles such as my recent vainglorious effort on personal branding, but should we all be showing our faces or keeping well out of the limelight? db Another point about trust is being discussed elsewhere on the point of whether to include a mugshot with one’s blog…

Also, as a Blogger I think one of the biggest challenges is earning trust with a new and returning reader which can only really be achieved by consistently conveying positive human aspects of your personality - as well as providing great content! All this using a medium which is primarily text based.

To begin with, I want to develop a threaded a commenting Plugin for my 'blog, which will allow people to reply to specific comments, a la forums. That's just for starters. Beyond that, I have an idea which would ultimately hook into a Facebook application...

You and I have probably experienced this as we converse via comments, Skype, email, facebook, pownce and every other known non-verbal method known to webkind. A plugin that threaded everything together would be sooooo cool, tie it in with a universal login and you're on to a winner. Email of Skype me if you want to discuss this further ;-) Or, maybe we should meet down the pub! db Wayne, there’s a whole post in the “keeping up with web 2.0 conversations” idea and the forgetting to tweet back, face up, or pownce on someone.

He asked whether anyone would, should, or could fake their feedcount. Obviously, faking anything online is harder than faking it in the boudoir, there's always someone who will sniff out the fraud and expose the fraudster. I suppose the immoral may get away with it a few times but once word spreads that someone is not to be trusted then dealing with them will become as moot a point as responding with full bank details, driving license number, birthday, and mother's maiden name to one of those fellows from Nigeria with all those millions of dollars under their proverbial mattress. db There’s an interesting discussion about trust going on at http://www.johntp.com a techie blogger’s blog blogging site I frequent.
