I have always wondered what and how that Gravatar thing in WordPress template’s comments worked. I wondered but never really dealt with it. >_< .. up until I actually saw it work on my own blog! A friend commented and this cute albeit disturbing avatar (if you know what it is for.. ) appeared in the posted message.

In order to have an avatar for all the sites that make use of the Gravatar, you should sign up first at http://en.gravatar.com/ then use the email you signed up with as the email you use when you comment and tadah.. there the avatar will appear. =)

Thanks to Eumir for teaching the n00b m3!
