What is a Gravatar and How to Create One!

http://en.gravatar.com/site/signup Have you ever read a blog and seen these cool photos next to the comments Have you ever thought to yourself - how did those people get their picture to show up? Well I'm here to solve this mystery here and now!

Those cool blog comment photos are called gravatars and it is super easy to get your own! But first - why would you WANT a gravatar?

Commenting on a blog is a great way to make yourself part of a community, and to get noticed by that blogs author and readers. It is much easier to remember who you are when there's the instant visual recognition of a photo AND it makes people feel like they know you better.

To create your own gravatar (which stands for Globally Recognized Avatar) simply go to: http://en.gravatar.com/site/signup and enter your email address.

During the sign up process, ­­upload a picture (avatar) to the site. The size of the avatar image would normally be 80px by 80px. The picture will be stored on the Gravatar.com server and associated with your email address.
