What is a Gravatar anyway?
We’ve told you about Gavatars before!
A gravatar is a “Globally Recognized Avatar” or little square picture that is associated with your email address. In many blogs, forums and websites your gravatar shows up when you post a comment to an article or post. It can be a picture of you, a logo, or anything else you want to represent yourself. They are not used on all blogs or sites but they are growing in popularity and you will see them more and more. Getting your own is very easy. Just go to www.gravatar.com and register for a free account. You can even assign gravatars to multiple email addresses. You just upload a picture and crop out the image you want to use and your done. You can even upload a picture taken with your webcam. Sites with support for gravatar will now show the image you have chosen when you post your comments.
