With our new comments, if you want an avatar next to your name in the comments, you need to sign up for a free Gravatar. A Gravatar tied to an address that only you know is an excellent way to protect your identity when commenting as well as a means to show your individuality.
First, you need to sign up for a Gravatar; go to this link and follow the directions and enter the email address that you will use when commenting. Second, please note for your new Gravatar to appear in the comments, you will enter your email address in the provided field but it will not be visable after you hit the publish button.
In creating a Gravatar you just need to have a square image. Gravatar will resize it to fit their format. Your Gravatar is 'rated' and approved which will take a couple of days.
Keep in mind that having a Gravatar is an option. Too much work? Don't get one! You can still comment and we love to hear what you have to say.
