Do you know what a Gravatar is? No it’s not a mispronunciation of the movie Avatar but it’s the picture appearing on the blog comments by the commenter. GRAVATAR means Globally Recognized Avatar. So you don’t have to register on the blog itself you wish to make your comments in order for you to have an avatar. All blogs that can accept Gravatar will automatically have your own avatar seen on the comments. And also, if you wish to replace your avatar, you only need to do it once and the change will be global. Depending on the blog owner, if don’t have your own Gravatar, the default picture that will appear are sometimes funny cliparts or a silhouette like the one below:
So how to create your own Gravatar? the first thing you need is an email address. Then go to the GRAVATAR website (http://en.gravatar.com/site/signup) to sign up. Just submit your email and you will be sent an email for further instruction so you can upload you photo or clipart of your choice and set your password.
