This is a beautiful idea, if it works correctly. By the way, this post is a brilliant way to invite comments and to get people reading to contribute.

Interesting concept. Their site could use a little more documentation tho. Let’s see if I did it right.

Heh. BTW, the name reminds me of the old arcade game…

I loves me the Gravatar. I have added it to my upcoming site (running Joomla!) using jomcomment. I used to use it on my WordPress site as well. I too, am probably going to have to do a little post about how it works. Glad you added it Scott.

I set up a Gravatar some months ago, but couldn’t figure out exactly how it was supposed to be used. Now I know.

Nice addition to the blog! There also should be some new features and functionality coming to Gravatar soon.

how does this look?

Aral, it’s pretty simple, I’ve never heard of Pavatar, that’s why. Also, why not Gravatar? Works pretty well as far as I can tell.

This post was not intended to be a comparison of avatar services (I’ll leave that to the 1000 other blogs that write about that), but more of an to let people know that I’ve installed Gravatar on this blog, explain what it is and show people how to use it.

Hi Scott, Why not a Pavatar? I just discovered them and they seem far more decentralized than Gravatars (though the latter is easier to set up, no doubt). Actually, I only set one up for myself because it came built-in with PHP OpenID. I do like their approach, though :)

I forgot I had a Gravatar until recently when I posted a comment here and my ugly mug popped up next to it. It’s kind of unnerving at first. “How do they know what I look like?!”

So glad I set up Gravatars myself all of THREE DAYS ago. Coincidence? I think so.
