We'd like to advertise the hackergotchi service more and make users aware of it. We'd also like to help them help us do a good job on the hackergotchi, and also help them understand what we think makes a good hackergotchi so they can know what to expect.

For this task, we'd like you to create a blog post on Planet Fedora all about hackergotchi. Here are the main points you'll need to cover to successfully complete this ticket:

1 - What are hackergotchi? Why are they important?

2 - What makes a good hackergotchi? Show a few examples and provide specific points on each that demonstrate why it is a good hackergotchi.

3 - Give some information on general hackergotchi guidelines. 120x120px is what the design team agreed on in our 29 June 2010 meeting. Hackergotchi do not usually have necks. They are of the user's head without any background in the picture, ideally the background is transparent. They usually have a drop shadow. Any other guidelines you can think of would be great to list here.

4 - Talk about what makes for a good hackergotchi photo. Maybe tips on taking a good photo for them?

5 - Make a pitch for the Fedora Design team hackergotchi service. Explain that we use trac to track them; If they would like to request that a hackergotchi be created for them, they should file a request at https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/newticket, selecting 'hackergotchi request' as the type at the top of the ticket. They should also attach a photo of themselves to the ticket that we can use to make the hackergotchi. Remind them of the good photo guidelines above when selecting a photo to attach to the ticket.

This task is from the design team meeting on 29 June 2010. (http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2010-06-29/fedora-design.2010-06-29-19.00.html)
