Gravator for your profile

I’ve always wonder how others able to show their avatar in every each blog they’ve commented. Now that I have stumbled upon this blog who'd show the steps to register, I’ve learned how and why they managed to do it.

 

We can do it by using the Gravatars (Globally Recognized Avatars) where it link with your email address to setup your avatar.

 

What is a gravatar?

A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on weblogs?

Signing up for a gravatar.com account is FREE, and all that's required is your email address. Once you've signed up you can upload your avatar image and soon after you'll start seeing it on gravatar enabled weblogs!

How do I get gravatars on my weblog?

Setting up gravatars on your weblog is easy, you don't even need an account! Plugins are available for leading weblog software, and our tutorials will have you running gravatars in no time. To request a gravatar from our servers, you simply add an image to your comments area with an "src" attribute that points to our gravatar image generator and includes an MD5 hash of the commenter's email address. Since all gravatars are rated with an MPAA style rating, you can restrict your site to show only gravatars whose content you are comfortable with.

Check out this blog to see the avatar presented in the comment section.
