Do you ever find yourself wishing you could join folks on this and other blogs who attach a profile photo to their comments? Here’s how:
Go to Gravator.comand create what is known as an avatar. The email address you use to post comments here must be the same as the email address you use when you sign up for an avatar on Gravatar. The whole deal uses your email address as the trigger to display your image.
Any blog you post a comment on, assuming 1, you use the same email address and 2, that particular blog uses avatars in the first place, will display your image.
Gravatar, it is easy, free, quick and we are not aware of any problems with it. no spam, no identity issues, nothing. But it is a third party site.
You don’t HAVE to use that site, you can use whatever one you wish, you can Google “avatar” and choose.
Do NOT go to the link above. The correct link is http://en.gravatar.com/
@mgwa. Aw I was hoping that meant you were going to show us what you look like!
link is fixed
But Greg, could you also explain now the comment rating system works?
Did it work? Did it work?! 😀
Grrr….what am I doing wrong?!
are you using the same email address?
Yup. It says it can take a few minutes to work… I will give it a look again tomorrow. Right now, I have five short answer essays for Occidental to edit. 😛
It’s there, ears and all.
Wendy – could we be related? I see a family resemblance in our avatars 😉
