@EJ - Gravatars became part of the web pretty much instantly. I put it off just until they got the API out there and in use. .-= Dave´s last blog ..WordPress Architecture – The Building Blocks of Web Publishing =-.

I can't stand when people don't have a gravatar it's so annoying, not to mention it's free and gives you some kind of identity. .-= Extreme John´s last blog ..Sunday Smash Blogging Tips and Weekly Link Luv =-.

Dave,
You’re absolutely right about how important it is to have a gravatar. I remember when I first started commenting on blogs how professional it looked when people had a nice gravatar. I was unknowingly drawn to their comments and found them to be more credible (even if they weren’t).

The psychological impact of seeing who is saying something is very surprising and worth taking advantage of (especially for women).

I really should go through my gravatars and get everything sorted out. .-= Sean´s last blog ..How to Print a Woodblock =-.

@Andrew, It’s a great video, worth watching all the way through to where they clown around at the end.

I’ll find a way to put up Barracuda though. I saw Heart do Dreamboat Annie in concert, sang Barracuda too. Rocked.

I'm under 41 and I didn't retch! Good call on gravatar's too, didn't realise you could have multiple ones. Nice! .-= Andrew´s last blog ..You only need one idea… =-.
