I'm danchamp, creator of Revish. My home is a smallholding in central Scotland.

Today I learned that someone finds my user icon scary. Is it really?

Hi Dan. What a cool weblog you and your wife have created. I sent the link to a Scottish friend of mine who lives here in Bethesda. She loves to garden and will get a kick out of what you and Rosemary have done.

Yeah, your icon is a little scary - it looks like you're looking down, disdainfully, on the rest of us. Or maybe you are just about to squash a bug.

Oh, and I'm Dona, aka cedarwaxwing (my favorite bird). I'm a mom of two teenagers. We live in Bethesda, Maryland -- spitting distance from the National Institutes of Health.

Thanks Dona, the garden is good therapy for spending too much time in front of the PC!

"Yeah, your icon is a little scary".

LOL, okay, I've changed it. :-)

And discovered a bugette at the same time. If you uploaded a 48x48 jpg for your icon it was still resampling it, which meant the quality was deteriorating. Since you're using your Flickr icon it doesn't apply to you though.

I'll have to check out your site when I'm not, you know, supposed to be working. But my geeky self did notice you're using Moveable Type and just wanted to pop in and say if you ever get tired of it, I highly recommend WordPress. I recently installed it, as I've outgrown Blogger, and it's quite a lot of fun. Which prompted my boyfriend to swap to it from MoveableType and he's been raving ever since. Apparently it's much faster, and he likes the features better. I personally have no MT experience, though we useb2evolution here, which seems to have spun-off from MT in that I think it was made by MT users who wanted more/different.

P.S. I don't remember finding any of your icons scary. The first one was odd-ish, but I thought the second one (that I've seen anyway) was perky. Which is the one that preceded the current.
