This symbol is the Logo created by Gravatar.com.

Wherever you see it, it means that you can replace it with your own image.  It’s quick and easy to set up and after you’ve registered your image it works on all sites and you can change your image whenever you want or keep it the same forever.

Here is how you do it:

1. Go to Gravatar.com

2. Register your email and choose an avatar picture to be attached with it.

You’re Done! That’s it. Simple and painless!

From then on, whenever you visit a blog with the Gravatar symbol in the comments, as long as you use the same email address that you used on the Gravatar site, your image will automatically be attached.

Pretty neat huh?!

If your image doesn’t show up… recheck the spelling of your email address.  I made that mistake once… operator error!

Happy Commenting.

If you’re totally lost as to what in the world I’m talking about… look down at the comments on this post. I’m going to give you some examples.

And if you’re going to go register your Gravatar right now for the first time…. WAIT! Leave a comment here first with that boring blue box next to your name. Then when you get your Gravatar come back and leave another comment showing us your Skills and your pretty new picture.

It’ll be FUN! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!
