Browsing around the internet today while working on a computer in the house, I stumbled across this little diddy known as a “Gravatar”, and thought to myself “Hey, what is that all about?” So I took a minute while drinking a glass of water, and read the website to discover more about what this whole thing is. Come to find out, it stands for a “Global Avatar”, or an avatar which you can carry with you to all of the blogs you post on. Intrigueing…
So I signed up for an account using my normal “web blog posting” email address, and what do you know, I’ve now got a Gravatar of my own. That was easy… a little too easy… Ok, so it’s not a scary thing at all, but hey, sounded good at the time. I’ve now updated the website to support Gravatars, and I would encourage anyone who comments on various blogs to sign up for one. Not only that, but if you run a blog, please, make your site gravatar capable (heck, the instructions are right there on their website). I’ve always liked avatars in Forums, and this takes it to a whole new level. Love it.
So yeah, head on over to the Gravatar website, and check it out. It’s worth your time.
