Someone asked me:
I notice that when some people comment on your blog (and other blogs) there is a picture icon of them, instead of some generic little icon. How do I get a picture icon of myself when I comment?
Easy!
That picture icon is called a “gravatar”: a Globally Recognized Avatar. If you go to gravatar.com, you can register yourself, upload a picture, and associate it with your email address(es) that you use.
Then when you comment on a site that supports gravatars (which seems to be most these days), it will automatically load that picture of you when you comment.
This is my current gravatar:
Until next time…
