another sam chan: the student blogger

While commenting on other forums and blogs, I often notice that the blog writer always has some witty picture of himself and I am always a faded silhouette. Well, no more! Here’s how you get your own 5×7 when you comment on blogs. All you do is go to a site called Gravatar and sign up for an account with your primary email. Gravatar calls itself the Globally Recognized Avatar, and rightfully so. Once you’ve signed up, all that’s left is for you to upload a picture and sync it with your email. Simple and pain free. Have you ever wondered why it was such a pain to comment on people’s blogs, asking for my name and every single time? This is why. From my experience, my picture now shows up on every single post I make on others’ blogs. What’s even neater is that if you decide to change that picture, it automatically changes all your past pictures to your updated ones as well, and if you have more than one email, Gravatar accommodates for that as well.
