Get your gravatar

Posted by Editor | July 10, 2007 |

When you make a coment on this site or thousands of others would you like a custom avatar (a little picture of yourself for example) to show up beside your name?

The solution is something called Gravatar — Globally Recognized Avatar.

To get one, go to www.gravatar.com. All you’ll need to do is enter your email address and then assign a profile image to it. When you use that email address to leave a comment on a blog site, it goes to the Gravatar site and pulls the image related to that email address. In that way, you don’t even have to be registered on the site you’re leaving the comment on and your pic still comes up!

Go ahead–register and then leave a comment on this page. You’ll see how it works.
