A “gravatar” is a globally-recognized avatar, a small photo or image that follows you from site to site. It will appear next to your name when you make comments or join in social networking conversations, such as those on Twitter.
Now, gravatars have come to www.BarbaraFeldman.com, and if you have a free, easy gravatar set up, it will appear next to your comments on this blog.
Ready to join the gravatar party? It’s easy.
1) Go to Gravatar.com and sign up to associate an avatar image with your email address. It is both easy and free.
Now whenever you comment on gravatar-enabled sites, such as this one, your gravatar will display.
2) Now that you have a gravatar, go ahead and try it out by posting a comment below.

Thanks for the Gravatar hint. It was super easy. Now I won’t be faceless when entering discussion groups!

Hi Barbara,
Just testing out my new gravatar here. I hope it works.
Thank you for posting the instructions!

I thought I’d be the first to comment, so you can see what the gravatars look like here.
