Setup a Gravatar

stupid077

Hey all,

I’ve recently setup a Gravatar account and installed some plug ins for the blog.

For those who don’t know a Gravatar is a “globally recognized avatar”. These avatars show up wherever you’re visiting online and posting. So when you go to a favorite blog (mine?) and post a comment you’ll have a nice graphical representation of you, next to your name, that identifies you in the crowd. This can be particularly nice if you visit larger blogs with 100’s of comments after each post - like Gizmodo.

You register an email account and every time you sign in with that particular email your Gravatar travels with you, wherever they’re supported. A nice little feature that adds a bit of personality to things you’re doing online. Since it’s free why not?
