HI Craig.... thank you so much for this information..... we'll get rid of that smiley face.... hope I remember to...

Craig....OMG....I just wrote a post and followed your instruction....I'm so excited that my smiling face is no longer there....thank you sooooo much.

Another good one Craig. ..I'm high on Google plus more than ever before. . good stuff

Have a great Memorial Day!

Thanks Craig for another great tip!  I so appreciate your easy to follow instructions and great info!

 

Craig...you would have to catch me when I was being lazy! I'll have to admit that while I often choose a photo from my blog sometimes I'm in a hurry. But you are so right... People will want to see our graphic we used in our blog not our smiling faces!

Thank you Craig. Another great lesson. I am going to give it a shot today.

Thank you.  I hate that my own "mug shot" is what always shows up on Google+.  Now I can fix that.

Hi Craig, I have been wondering how to get rid of my head image too. I will make that correction today. Great Tips. Suggested of course.

Oh cool.  That is easy.  I'm going to try that right now.

Great post!  Thank you for all the help you have given me in the past and I know later you will do so again.

This was fantastic, not only do I hate my photo, but this is great for my listings.  Thank you!

Hi Craig - Thanks for the heads-up on that. Now, if FB was a little easier to do the same, I'd be all set - it doesn't seem to pick up any of the graphics from my outside blog, and the workaround is a hassle.

I have had this problem before--thanks so much for showing the fix! Between Facebook, Linked'In, Twitter, and Google+ it's hard sometimes to find out small details like this and even harder to keep up with the constant changes these networks undergo (in particular Facebook). Thanks again!

Craig, it looks like I need to spend more time over there using Google +. It hasn't been on my radar at all.

Good Morning Craig.. Google+ is going to look so much better with everyone putting our great photos from posts! I did not know that we had that choice button. I was still doing it the same as Facebook .... less work is best! =)

Thank you very much for sharing your tips!

Have a very special Memorial Day and an outstanding week.

Thanks Craig - I would have never known - more work to do!! Regards Dave

THANK YOU!  I've been wondering how to change the post photo when I G+ my post because I don't want a photo of me on G+, it's already there.  I'll defiitely switch this up.  You rock!

Craig:

Thanks for the information.  I need to spruce up my Google + site.  But it will have to wait for a while.  At least I know where to go to get the skinny.  Thanks.

Craig, thanks for the tip!  I notice this same problem happening on Facebook when I go to post a blog link.  I always try to select the most attractive and appropriate thumbnail.  I have not gotten into the whole Google Plus side of things yet though!

I did learn something about Google Plus Craig, so yes, you are doing a great job! I will now reblog this post and see if I can get it right when I add it to Google Plus. To be clear, you must do the scroll around each time to get the image you want to appear?? 

Oh my goodness Craig ~ that was so easy and I totally get why we should try to use another pic and not just the good ole AR profile picture. I hated the way my face always showed up. Now I am off to read your blog about getting around the same thing happening when we post to Facebook! Super exciting! Thank you Craig!!

Craig , thanks for the great tip.

Craig, you post are always so good and informative thyat I just wanted to thank you.

Thank you for the great effort to making it so easy to understand. 

Craig, That is a great tip, the customization is easy and very simple. Thanks a bunch.

Great post Craig. I noticed that if I post to my outside blog, I can then pick from all the photos on the post.

 

Craig this was really helpful.  I was  often annoyed to see my face, now I have a solution.

Thank you.

Craig, as usual, your help is absolutely superb! But lately I have been having trouble loading photos on Active Rain. Some nights I just give up and hope it will work better tomorrow. I know I'm not the only one.

Craig - Thanks for teaching us about this.  I know it's a problem on FB and didn't know there was a fix.  I'm off to go learn some more.

Craig, thanks for the timely post. I was wondering why google plus does this instead of defaulting to the graphic in the post. 

Guilty as charged! And... I was so looking for the solution. For the life of me, I couldn't figure it out. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Very helpful.  After a brief period where I've had to focus on aspects of my business other than social media marketing, I am renewing my effort to embrace Google+.  Thanks for the extra motivation!

Craig, another excellent post! Yes, I did learn something new today. Thanks.

Hi Craig - I didn't know this! I am going over there now to change mine! Thanks for the tip!

Cool Craig, this was driving me crazy. I will fix this and give people something else to look at other than my mug - time after time. :)

Craig, this is one thing that I noticed from the beginning! I cringe to see my face on the thumbnail. 

Craig LOL, I just did one this morning & went back & deleted it.  Got rid of my 'face' and got the correct pic on the post. Thank you so much!  I'm sure others are tired of looking at my 8x10 face on their phones, etc. I knew this for FB.

Thanks for the tip.  Google+ is a great way to get blog content out there so it indexes faster.

Thanks Craig!  I wondered about this and now I know.  Do you have any tricks for chosing the picture for facebook if we use the AR button on top of our posts.  I don't like to use it as it's only our picture that shows up. We can't chose the photo - unless I missed something the last few weeks????

Hi Craig, I've been using this for sometime...Tammy Emineth told me about this special feature...sooo easy.

Dude you are awesome and I love you!  I tried it and it was so easy!

I would have never even thought of the issue, let alone your solution.  Thanks for the great post.

Thank so much for another learning lesson. For me, it pays to surf the AR daily.

Thank you ! Great information thanks for sharing a great post! Thank you!

Hi Craig...Jerry Re-blogged this post and sent us over...Thanks for the Great Suggestion.

Congratlations on your feature

Hi Craig, excellent point however, I heard Google Plus is now referred to as Google Ghost town.  No one really using.

I always find myself says "ah-ha" after reading your posts!  I will change my ways - thanks for the tip.

Thanks very much for the information.  I will be putting this to good use.

Craig~since you are a master at Fatherhood as well as the internet, I just wanted to pass on a message of support for YOU for a great Father's Day (may it bring a bit of relaxation for you). You are a "FATHER" to so many of us in this social network, that I wanted you to bask in the glory of knowing how appreciated you are!

 

Happy Father’s Day, Craig!

Great tip. I've been focusing on Facebook and ignoring Googleplus.  That is about to change. 

Great post Craig! I love learning new stuff about technology, and though I'm not using Google+ much yet, I do use twitter, linkedin, and Facebook quite a bit.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Craig. This is not the first time I googled my question within activerain to get the answers I need from one of your posts.

Great great tip..    and look forward to more interesting insight in the future! Liz in Chandler
