What’s A Gravatar?

The choice is easy, why be boring?

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 (which is quite a few). Avatars help identify your posts on web forums (like Adaptistration) so that every time you leave a comment, the photo you use at your Gravatar account will automatically appear as opposed to the default space holder.

Signing up for a Gravatar account is FREE, 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 all of your Adaptistration comments you posted using the same email address (and all other Gravatar enabled blogs!). It’s retroactive and automatic so you don’t need to do a thing other than make sure the email address you use when posting comments is the same as the email address used at your Gravatar account.

So why be put up with a boring, generic space holder pic when you can add some personality? Signing up only takes a few moments: click here to create your Gravatar.
