And even though the post was published a while back, creating a Google Profile is still one of the best, easiest things you can do to put yourself on the virtual map. I'm always surprised at how few people create a Google Profile. You’re very welcome, Ron.

While you're adding your smiling face to your Google profile, you might want to create a Gravatar, as well (that's the universal avatar that accompanies comments you make on people's blogs -- so you don't get stuck with the default "mystery man.")

The Google eyes image is cute, but you're right; you do need to find a decent mugshot of yourself to pop into your profile. Our minds are geared to connect emotionally with people's faces. Since you're promoting your services, it's important that prospective clients see you; it helps them feel as if they know you. Stephen,

I created my profile using Firefox and didn't have any trouble. I have heard from others that there are glitches in the system; hopefully, Google is getting the kinks worked out.
