Gravatars

April 15th, 2008

wordpress.orgI’ve recently enabled the display of gravatars on my blog…

So, I am encouraging everyone to create their own “gravatar” at gravatar.com. And, I think it would just be “spiffy”, don’t you agree?

In today’s blogging world, having a universally recognized image of yourself (or some graphic that represents who you are) is nice to have. Especially whenever you comment on people’s blogs, your gravatar will be displayed, providing the blogger has the proper code set-up.

So, what is a Gravatar?

A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on weblogs?
