Introducing: Gravatars

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

The new version of WordPress has a lot of features built into it, and one of those features is the ability to use Gravatars. These are small pictures, or avatars, which are associated with your email address and will follow you around the web. Whenever you leave leave a comment on a blog that uses Gravatars, your Gravatar will appear next to your comment.

Now that this feature is built in and requires me to do nothing more than place a script command in my comment template, I have replaced the Favatars with Gravatars. So, if you already have a Gravatar and you have left your email address with your comment, your Gravatar will automatically show up with your comment.

I know, I know, this isn’t anything Earth-shattering, but I thought it was neat. If you want to create your own Gravatar, just go here and follow the directions.
