Loading ...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?
Why do I need a gravatar?
A gravatar is not something you absolutely have to have, but in my experience since I signed up for my gravatar I have found it very exciting that my picture shows up automatically on someone elses blog who supports the gravatar. As stated above, gravatars will help identify your comments and that can help your favorite blog authors recognize you instantly and it just makes it more fun to leave comments. Also the people with weblogs that are gravatar enabled with appreciate you that much more when you comment with a gravatar. It’s like having a web presence that follows you online wherever you go. I’m not sure about other weblog software packages out there, but I know that the latest version of Wordpress supports gravatars and I think it is a wonderful thing because it just makes comment sections on these blogs look way cool.
How do I get a gravatar
Signing up for a gravatar.com account is FREE, and all that’s required is your email address. Once you’ve signed up you can upload your avatar image and soon after you’ll start seeing it on gravatar enabled weblogs!
You can come back here after you get your gravatar set up and leave a comment on this post to see your gravatar in action.
