An avatar is a small picture or image used to identify comments posted on line. A gravatar is a Globally Recognized Avatar, which eliminates the need to upload images to multiple forums. You upload and edit an image at the gravatar home page and associate it with your e-mail address. Thereafter, any gravatar-enabled site will pull your gravatar into a post associated with your e-mail address. (I suppose it’s possible for someone to spoof your e-mail address on a post and consequently spoof your gravatar as well, but whaddya gonna do?)

WordPress 2.7 has automatic support for gravatars in comments, so now if you look at any post in this blog that I’ve commented on you’ll see my pretty little face next to my comment. Create your gravatar now and your pretty little face can be on this blog, too!
