Got Gravatar?

September 21, 2009 in VCritical by Eric Gray | 6 comments

Have you noticed the avatar images next to blog comments that make each author more easily identifiable?

On WordPress blogs, these images are generally made possible through a service called Gravatar.  Most of the Top 20 Blogs at vSphere Land use WordPress — if you plan on commenting on the VM blogs, why not take a moment to set up a Gravatar for yourself?

I’m pointing this out in case folks are under the impression that they must have a special account on VCritical to display an avatar next to their comments — it’s all handled by Gravatar.

Do you have a Gravatar?

    There is no easy way to discover where those avatars come from. Good to know it helped.
