Gravatars Are Go
I’ve been following the RSS feeds in the admin panel of my WordPress installation lately - especially regarding Gravatar (the site which provides Globally Recognized Avatars that can be used across any Gravatar-compatible site, much like a forum icon). I saw Matt Mullenweg’s post about Automattic’s purchase of Gravatar. Then I saw his post which enabled Gravatars on his personal blog. Apparently, so did Dougal Campbell, who has cooked up a wonderful little Easy Gravatars Plugin using Matt’s code snippet. Thanks to these guys, I signed up and made a Gravatar, and now Gravatars are enabled on my comments. My guess is that this will soon be incorporated into WordPress - but for now, get with the program! Make a Gravatar - it will appear on my site when you comment. Then set your blog up to use them, and they’ll appear on yours too! Yay!
