Grab a Gravatar!

One of the important steps in developing an online profile is choosing an avatar, and using it consistently, so that your online friends and associates come to recognize you, and your work. An “avatar” is that little thumbnail-sized photo of you, or of a graphic you like that accompanies your profile on most social networking sites, blogs, discussion forums, etc..

To easily have your avatar display in the comment sections of most Wordpress and Blogger.com blogs, and in many discussion forums is to use a “Gravatar,” which is a “globally recognized avatar.”

Following is a tutorial on how to grab one of this nifty little gizmos (the tutorial will open in full-screen).

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.

Your photo will display with your comment if you use gravatars.
