How To Get Wordpress Gravatars For Comments
Have you noticed how some of the people who leave comments here on the Zath tech news blog have avatar image/pictures next to their comments, do you want one for yourself when commenting on this and other blogs?
All you need to do is head over to the Gravatar website and register your email address with them that you’ll be using to comment with and upload the picture that to represent your comments, all this can be done within a couple of minutes!
The image you use for your Gravatar can be an actual picture of you, a symbol, a cartoon version of yourself or anything else you want to be out there on the Internet.
If you have a website or a company, you may want to use your logo or part of it like I have done above and use it as a way of marketing yourself, your company or website – now whenever I leave a comment on a website that uses Gravatars, then the Zath’s blue ‘Z’ is left behind!
Have you got a Gravatar set up yet? If not, why not? If you need more convincing, take a look at what Chris Garrett says about getting a Gravatar or Patrick over at BlogStorm.
Having a visual representation can really help to immediately identify you and make you stand out from others, so why not head over to Gravatar now and give your comments a bit more personality?

I’ve had a Gravitar account for ages (probably since it first launched) and I’ve found it really hit & miss.
Sometimes it works, but most of the time it just doesn’t.
I’ve created one for each of the email addresses I use for blogging, but no change!
That said, everyone else seems to have theirs working, so I’m not sure what it is.
Still a good idea, though.
Would be even better if it worked in conjunction with OpenID…

Gravatar is great…just signed up for it yesterday.
BTW Zath, has anyone had any problems with your feed in regards to Google Reader? I just got a flood of your posts early this morning.

@Wayne – That sounds really strange, I’ve not really had any problems like that, the only issue I had was around cropping an image and it didn’t seem to work correctly in some instances.
@The Windows Fix – I don’t think the feed has been an issue with Google Reader, I think Feedburner has had some work done on it, it looked like all my subscribers disappeared for a week, but now seem to have come back.
