Gravatar – An Avatar for Many Websites
If you write comments on blogs or forums, you’ll often see Avatars. Gravatar, a globally recognized avatar lets you upload or link an Avatar image that is associated to you email address.
Quoting Wikipedia again (I’m getting lazy!) “Although blog comment pages can sometimes act like Internet forums, there is no single way to provide avatar support on blogs. One solution is the “gravatar”, an avatar called from a centralized server at site.gravatar.com and linked to one’s e-mail address. Gravatars are centrally moderated, which allows them to be filtered for family friendliness.”
The image shows me uploading a (pretty rubbish!) icon- I’ll get a better one. You can se it in action on the earlier story about the Click and Point puzzle where I have added a comment. Yes Portent is now gravatar enabled.
