Upload a profile image and avatar into your VMware Communities profile, and you could win a $50 iTunes gift card!
It's that simple! VMware Communities has enabled both profile images and avatars, so now we want you to let other community members know what you look like! Or at least let us know what you wish you looked like. ;-)

Avatars are the small graphics that display next to all of your posts. Profile images are the large images that display on your profile page. For some good examples, let me introduce to you some people on the VMware Communities team:


How do I upload?
Go to VMware Communities, log in, then click your name at the upper right of the page.
  • - Avatar: Click "Change avatar" in the "Actions" box at the right.
  • - Profile Image: Click "Edit Communities profile" in the "Actions" box at the right.

How to Win!

  1. Make sure you have both an avatar and a profile image uploaded into your VMware Communities profile before midnight Pacific on Wednesday, October 28. If you already have an avatar, that's great -- you don't need to upload a new one.
  2. I will pick one VMware Communities member at random who has both an avatar and a profile image uploaded by the deadline, and I'll send that person a $50 iTunes gift card. Then I'll announce the winner here.
  3. There's no need to tell me you've uploaded an image and avatar -- I will find them in your profile. VMware employees are not eligible to win the prize. No purchase necessary to win.

Have fun getting connected! - Robert

Does the avatar have to look like you?

You see most people don't realise my alta-ego is the King of Rock N Roll :-)

Hi Mike, That's good!! :-) Your avatar doesn't need to look like you (hence the comment about letting people know what you wish you looked like). But personally, I find it more useful when your avatar does look like you. My current one is me, just a bit more close-up and rosy-cheeked than usual.
