Gravatars

I just added gravatar support to my comments section. I wish I had done it ages ago. Suddenly, half my old commenters have faces.

I had no idea how easy it was to make my picture show up on people’s blogs. All you do is go to gravatar.com and associate an image with your email address. Then, whenever you comment (in the future or the past) on a blog using that email address, your picture shows up. Done.

Honestly, I can’t believe nobody commented on this just to see their own gravatar? (Not that I would do that.)

Typically, people already know what their gravatar looks like, since they create it themselves.
