Get those gravatars
You may notice on lots of site people have avatars next to their comments. Why don’t you? You probably haven’t made a gravatar. Next you might ask:
What is a gravatar?
A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from blog to blog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on blogs?
How do I get a gravatar?
All you have to do to get one is go to http://gravatar.com/ and add your avatar image. They when you make a comment on a site is pulls the image that is associated with your email address.
Test is out
Feel free to leave a comment on my site to test out your new avatar. It is supported by many blogging platforms.
Simple but nice, give it a whirl!

Actually, I’ve had a gravatar for a while now. It makes personal branding much easier, IMO.

Testing the gravatar.
Does that sound remotely like some Masters of the Universe action figure – or a Transformer?

Pretty much, it’s like a vip pass to an exclusive club :)
