Personalize your comments with Gravatar<\/h3>\n

You’ve been moving around the internet world reading and commenting on blogs. Over time you notice that when you comment a bizarre creature, called an Identicon<\/a>, appears as an icon representing you, but others have a personalized image. What are those images and how can you get one for your very own you wonder.<\/p>\n

\"Gravatar\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The images you see by the names of these comments are created by a having an account with Gravatar<\/a> a shortened name for Globally Recognized Avatar. What is a Gravatar you ask? The question is answered with a quick visit to their site where you see their description:<\/p>\n

“A Globally Recognized\u00a0Avatar<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Your Gravatar is an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things like comment or post on a blog. Avatars help identify your posts on blogs and web forums, so why not on any\u00a0site?”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Setting up your account with Gravatar is easy, all you need is an email account and off you go! Once you have the basics completed you then link your Gravatar account with any existing blog or business site, upload your image file, give a short description of yourself if you wish, link to your other social sites if desired and that is it. Now when you comment anywhere on the web using same Gravatar email your selected image appears immediately.<\/p>\n

Well, you think, that is really handy, but what other advantages are there to having a Gravatar account?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you have your Gravatar account set up you will not only be able to have a nifty image when you comment but others can quickly see more about you, your blog or your business by hovering over the image placed by your comment(s). They can also click the image and be redirected back to the link(s) you have set up within the Gravatar account. Now can you see how this might be important to you, your blog or your business! You are no longer a nameless and faceless commenter in the crowd, you not only have an image but a voice detailing who you really are.<\/p>\n

Can I have more than one Gravatar Account?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are like me you have many different things going on all at once and you can have a many Gravatars, one for each email address you maintain. Now if you want to comment on Aunt Bessie’s blog and have a cute image of your new kitty that links to a photo gallery showing her off you can. You can also have an account set up for your business that allows you to move around the web leaving more professional comments with your icon linked to your business website. The type and purpose of Gravatar account is as endless as the amount of email accounts you keep and maintain, the choice is yours.<\/p>\n
