@Mark – Any Stumble it needs to “catch” early, and I imagine it’s the same for your StumbleUpon homepage. I’m not sure of the actual benefits. StumbleUpon I tend to think of as my “fun” social networking. For all that I find a lot of great resource, I equally use it for entertainment.

Definitely agree that the attractiveness of a picture has little to do with how interesting the stumbles are!

@Jennifer – Sure, I’d expect people to choose good pictures relevant to themselves. I think any genuine fandom and interest is always going to be developed from strong stumbles.

@James – I think my wife would kill me if I tried the same. Although to be fair she’s the brains as well as the good looks. :)

That’s why I include my girlfriend in my avatar. She’s the good looks and I’m the brains… :)

I’m guilty of putting my best pictures up hoping to bait more readers…but after that, I hope they stick around only if they like my stuff. I like to be kept honest and challenge my content.

Personally, I’ve not seen much value in having your own StumbleUpon page Stumbled. I do think that you’re quite right about the value of an attractive StumbleUpon picture, at least in catching someone’s attention, but I don’t often find that picture equates to them being interested in the types of things that I like.

There’s more value in having people see and re-Stumble the stuff that you submit. IMHO.
