Show yourself

Yup, another site update... will it ever end? Gravatars. Globally recognized avatars. Little pics, associated with your email address, that show by your name when you make a comment on a blog. I set up mine FOC via the Gravatar website. Of course, they would be no use on this blog if it wasn't gravatar-enabled, so I've installed the WP Gravatar plugin from the same site and it's all sorted. Just a couple of points here... firstly, you don't need a blog or site to have a gravatar, so you've no excuse for not getting one... secondly, gravatars aren't only for WP blogs, they can be used at many other places, so why not enable your site now?

    I'm nodding as if I understand what you're talking about. But I don't, so I'm away to visit that site. Maybe you'll see me when I get back, eh?

    Much better than the greyed out silhouette 🙂

    That's an uncanny likeness there, George!
