You know how when you comment on a Blogger blog and your cute little photo pops up next to it? And then when you go to another type of blog it doesn’t show up? Instead, you get this shadowy fellow:

shadowman

Or, just for kicks, let’s take my blog. You leave your witty and fascinating comment, and when it shows up on the blog you get a big, chatty sun next to your words, like this.

I’m all about my chatty sun. But if you would rather have your own gravatar (globally recognized avatar), go to gravatar.com to get your free personalized gravatar. It will then show up on all gravatar enabled sites, WordPress included. So go get your gravatar, come back here and test it out in the comments. I want to see your face!
