Get Yourself a Gravatar!

TipTail Gravatar The new version of Wordpress (2.5) has Gravatars built in. It took me a while to understand Gravatars, but finally I do, and really they are pretty neat. :)

A Gravatar is basically just a little picture that is related to your email address. And when you post a comment to a Wordpress 2.5 blog, WP will check if your email address exists in the Gravatar database. If so, it shows your little picture by your name.

It’s cool! If you don’t have a Gravatar associated with your email address, then a generic image will show. It’s boring.

Getting a Gravatar is free, and fun. Mine, as you can see, is Tatum. I have it linked here. If I reply to a comment of yours, this picture will show next to my comment as well.

So.. what are you waiting for! Getch yerself a Gravatar!

On this day..

    Cool idea. Thanks for sharing. I plan to implement Gravatars on my blogs and with any luck this comment will have my new gravatar attached. :-)
