Q: How do I get my picture displayed next to my comment? (Blog How To)

A: Get a Gravatar!

globally recognized avatar or gravatarWonder why some people have their picture next to their comment and others just have a blue sideways “G” thingy? Those are called Gravatars. If you have the thingy (technical term), it means you don’t have one set up yet. The shame! :(

So, how do you solve this perplexing dilemma? Head on over to http://gravatar.com and sign up for one of these handy dandy Globally Recognized AVATARs. You can use a headshot or even create any picture that you want.

Once you have one, anywhere you post on the internet that supports gravatars, (most blogs and many new forums) your avatar will conveniently follow you. All you need is to assign one to your email address, pick a user name, and password. Then, you are all set! Don’t worry, your email address is only used to identify you and link to the correct Gravatar.

What if you already made a post without a Gravatar? No sweat. The blog will automatically associate your Gravatar to the posts you’ve already made.

Well, I see you took my suggestion of posting about the Gravatars on the blog. These are a great and easy way for everyone to get to know all the commenters, customers & staff here at the NLfx.

I also see you stole my original post! “All the cool kids have them!” That was my line! LOL That’s alright… You’ll just have to owe me ;)

One thing has bothered me though:
Where’s Ben’s gravatar thingy?!
