I hate generic picture place holders! So I decided to shoot straight for gravatars.com and sign up to get myself a free gravatar for use with my wordpress blog and more! Now I can have a little picture of myself or wacky alien from the planet pharphignoogin appear next to my comments from hear to the farthest reaches of pharphignoogin! It was fairly easy, you just sign up, get your confirmation email and upload / point to the picture you want to use as your avatar. The way it works is that anytime you visit a site and use the email address you signed up with at gravatars.com, the picture you used will appear on that site! Pretty neat huh?
Once again, super easy!
- Go to http://www.gravatar.com/
- Sign Up!
- Check Your Email!
- Follow the link they sent you!
- Upload or Point to Your Avatar on the web!
- Associate it with your email address!
You’re done! Within 5-10 minutes any blogs or where ever you have been and used that email address will instantly display your gravatar instead of that boring place holder image!
