And Why Haven’t You Claimed Your Gravatar?

Posted by Ronald Huereca Feed Icon  

Gravatars - www.gravatar.comFor the loyal readers that comment on my posts, you may have noticed the question mark next to your comment. The question mark means you haven’t claimed your Gravatar.

What is a Gravatar?

A Gravatar is a globally recognized avatar. Meaning, you sign up at the site and upload your Gravatar and any blog that uses Gravatars will automatically include yours if you should decide to comment.

Gravatars give you a unique identity so-to-speak, so what’s stopping you from getting yours?

Gravatar Guidelines

Once you venture over to the site, you’ll notice that the Gravatars are rated kind of like movies (G, PG, R, etc…). I only accept Gravatars on my site no higher than PG.

Also, you must use the same e-mail address you use for this blog that you use for the gravatar website. Otherwise, my Gravatar software I have installed will not recognize your Gravatar since the e-mail address doesn’t match.

It’s All Gravy

The approval process can take a few days, so be patient. Soon, you’ll see your Gravatar show up in the comments you have left. If you’ve made it to this section and haven’t signed up for your own Gravatar, what are you waiting for?

    Check the groovy biohazard. Biohazard = cetroyer. Or is it cetroyer = biohazard? The world may never know. :)

    The Gravatar site hasn’t been working for a few days. Still in business?

    I tried it today and was able to log in. Gravatar is iffy when it comes to up time. As is my site lately. :\

    Well, I finally signed up today for a gravatar. Now, if it never shows up, we’ll know I didn’t do it right. lol

    I really don’t understand how it works, so we’ll see.

    Grandma,

    As long as you use the same e-mail address that you use on your blog comments, a gravatar should show up.

    I have registred it before 4 days, but it still don’t show.

    Darius,

    Yeah, I still don’t see yours. It should be automatic now though, right?
