Gravatars Added

I’ve enabled the use of gravatars on the blog, and I’ve re-worked the appearance of the comments a little bit to make things friendlier.

What’s a gravatar?

I actually kinda answered my Q after I clicked the link.

I’m beginning to question whether this is truly more user friendly. Is each gravatar unique like a persons DNA?

Gravatar Dylan

Well, each gravatar *can* be unique, but it is possible that two people could use the same image.

Of course, since most people will only have the default Gravatar Logo image, maybe this isn’t as friendly in practice as it is in theory.

How do I substitute an image (non-graven of course) for the gravatar logo?

Gravatar Larry

Ok, I’ve selected an image as my gravatar. How do I get it to appear?

Gravatar Dylan

You need to sign up at http://www.gravatar.com . Once you do that, you can associate the image with your email address.

Then, when you enter your email address on this site, it will automatically check with gravatar.com and get the image you’ve selected.

This way, no matter which blog you’re on–assuming that it supports gravatars–the image will appear without any extra work.

I signed up with gravatar and have associated the image with my email address.

I’m logged in on this site, so it has my email addresss.

So Let’s see what happens.

Hmmm… it doesn’t seem to be working.
