Who does the blue banner belong to?



This is going to be short and sweet. PUT A HEADSHOT ON YOUR LINKED IN ACCOUNT!!!  Do I sound like I'm screaming? Sorry - I am. I'm a little edgy right now. Hope you understand.

Do you follow or trust anyone on LinkedIn who won't post a current headshot on their account? Next worse thing to no headshot is posting a 20 year old photo but that's a different argument.

Once you have a proper headshot how about filling in all the blue space? It's prime advertising space. Even just a logo is better than blue. I like blue but not on a LinkedIn Cover Image.

Use these dimensions from the LinkedIn help page when you want to update your LinkedIn photos.

You may not be thinking about headshots, advertising, your job, your future - it's understandable. When you do decide to get back in the swing of things pull this little email out and use the specifications above to rock and roll your LinkedIn account.

Stay safe and healthy. Linda
