Hey! See that square thing on the left? The box with the blue “kid” in it. We call him “Skippy.”
Anyway, that thing is a gravatar … a globally recognized avatar. It’s an image, associated with your e-mail address, that follows you across the Web.
Gravatars help identify your posts and comments on blogs, in forums and … well, on any site that has the “technology.” Woooo!
If you’d like to join the gravatar fun by having a gravatar icon appear next to your comments on this blog, sign up for a free account, and let us see how you roll — gravatarly speaking.

I signed up with Gravatar earlier this week. I have to admit that I tend to pay more attention to comments that have Gravatars beside them. It’s sort of an “Ooh, shiny!” reaction, I think.

I’m happy to be a part of Compassion! The gravatar will be a good thing to have!

Very cool. I’ve been wondering how to do this.

Checking my avatar.

So, am I right in thinking that the gravitars will not automatically show up on old posts?

never mind

Just checking to see if it works

Hopefully I did the gravatar correct

Kind of curious if it works. Does it work retroactively too? I.e. will the image show up on my old posts?

Yay I just made mine!
