There are other versions on other People Connection pages (like the Message Boards page) and there will be more, but this one is blog-focused.
The official name right now for all these is The Face Wall, though I call this one the "Gallery of Bloggers" (or GOB).
It's pretty straightforward; it uses Flash, and we've got two rotations of 8 photos running currently -- just use the arrows to go back and forth.
When you click on a face, the photo will expand and display a link to the person's profile, and whatever blog information they submitted.
It will also show if you're online or not.
The initial thumbnails are a little jaggy, because of image compression -- they're working on that.
Right now, you'll see lot of familiar J-Landers, as well as some new
faces. Not everyone featured is going to have a blog, but hey, readers and commenters are people too, right?
If you want to submit your own photo, just click the "Submit Your Photo" link and follow the instructions.
The update schedule will depend largely on how many useable submissions the team gets; it could be weekly, biweekly, or some other interval.
As
noted, I'm not directly involved with the selection of the photos, so
it doesn't matter if you've been featured before somewhere else or not.
Thanks to Chris and the rest of the team for getting this up.
Enjoy! -- Joe

very good Thanks Joe I loved it!

very cool joe!
All I get is a row of barely-visible, generic blue placeholder silhouettes - no photos at all. Click on a spot, and I get text on that invisible blogger, but still no photo! :( Is this a dial-up problem? Is it just me, or is it down for everyone right now? - Karen

Hi...it sounds like some of our dialup viewers are having some trouble with the gallery -- the tech folks are working on making it more dialup-friendly. In the meantime, try refreshing the page after it loads to see if that helps out. Thanks -- Joe
