Setting up a gravatar

kirsten wrightFor the longest time, I never had an image show up when I was posting comments…even on my own blog! Finally, I did some simple investigating and found gravatar.com. According to their site:

A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things. Avatars help identify your posts on blogs and web forums, so why not on any site?

Honestly, it took 5 minutes to sign up with my email address and the image that I wanted, and poof, within about 30 minutes, all my icky grey avatars turned into pictures of me!

Do you have a gravatar? You should!

    Gravatars are so vitally important, it is equivalent to distinguishing between spammer and non spammer on Twitter, so so helpful! It’s also great for personal brand, so that you can have the ubiquitous visual presence across comments on different blogs!

    This is good info!!! Avatars are very important and a good tool for marketing. You can also have an Avatar rank organically in the search engines.. Good Stuff!!! Keep it coming!!!
