Ton has added photos to his blogroll. I wondered if he was doing it by searching people’s FOAF files but apparently not (it was pure coincidence that he added my photo about a day after I linked it from my FOAF file)

In my case, Ton dropped me an email asking if he could use a version of the picture I have in my website, not on my blog. So he had to first go wandering through my site before pulling my picture, making it black and white, and putting it up on his blogroll. A lot of effort for a mug shot. I felt honored.

Yes, apparently that is what he is doing - although in my case he made the (perfectly reasonable) assumption that since I had a picture on my front page I’d be happy with that being used.

Well, the actual effort wasn’t too large. A lot of the pictures were already available from Sebastian Fiedler’s weblog at seblogging.cognitivearchitects.com, so that was easy.
Other pictures I found by going through the websites like I did with Frank’s and with your site.
A few other pictures were send to me by the blogauthors themselves, so no big effort there as well. All in all it took me maybe two hours to get the pictures, edit them to the right size and black and white, and put them in the template. As far as editing templates goes that is a very moderate consumption of time, I think.
And a rewarding effort at that. It sure beats spending hours to tweak one little thing just right, that probably nobody even notices anyway. I think the photo’s really are an improvement, in them stressing the fact that blogging to me is conversation with individuals, not filtering sources for interesting stuff. So thanks again for letting me using your ‘mug shots’
Cheers,
Ton
