Gravatar

Gravatar icon

If any of you were wondering what that ugly blue icon is to the left of your names in the comments box on the bottom right of this page and also to the left of your comments in the articles themselves, well it’s the GRAVATAR icon.

As described on the Gravatar site, “A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from blog to blog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites”.

So if you want to be seen – and let’s face it conversations are much nicer when you can see who’s talking – head off over to the Gravatar site and sign up (free of charge).
