Grab a gravatar

Gravatars are “globally-recognized avatars”.

They’re a way of tying a little image to your email address and, on suitably set up blogs (like this one, hint! hint!) they will appear in, say, comments and various favorites.

Why not grab one? It’s a dead easy setup and sort of fun to see pictures instead of generic icons.

I grabbed one too, but with a different e-mail from previous posts.

It’s tied to your email address, so if you use a different one than the one you signed in with, it won’t show. I’ve also found that it can take a little while to “synch”.

BR: they will synch up eventually.

Yeah, I figured out that it’s tied to an e-mail address, so I’ve decided to use a different one for blog comments exclusively.

Seems to have matched up now. :)

I have one — my generic “Caligula” relaxing icon that is my default LJ icon, my blogger icon and now my gravatar. It took a while for the gravatar site to recognize my email and then a little while longer for the icon to show up on sites but it’s working now.

Yup! I had noticed the puddy tat showing up a few times. :)
