So we here at AFI were talking amongst ourselves the other day and the question was raised, "why do some blog comments show a user’s avatar, but others don’t?" And it was a very good question, indeed.
And of course our very own Vader had the answer: Gravatar.
Yes, my friends, Gravatar.
You go to their website, sign up for free with the email you use for forums, wordpress blogs, comments, what-have-you, and upload your favorite avatar. Those programs then do a search whenever you post and grab the avatar associated with that email. You can register multiple emails, too, and it’s all free!
Sweet, sweet Gravatar…will you marry me?
(Yes, I realize I’m just avoiding finishing my Star Wars post at this point).
<——- Hey look, I gotta avatar!
Well, I just got mine!
Let’s see if this works…
Well, don’t that beat all.
I’ve had mine for a while now, but I rarely post on bloogs that are Gravatar-enabled.
There’s no WAY this works. Why do you lie all the time?
Oh…wait….
Well that was a pain. Couldn’t get the pic I wanted to work so I went with this.
Man, and I thought Gravatar was another lost Super Powers character or something….
