Gravatars

from - smijer

Following, once again, the lead of Pharyngula, I have implemented gravatars in the comments on this site. If you want to add a visual dimension to your signature on here or any other web-log that implememnts the same, go here, sign up for an account using the e-mail address that you leave in the e-mail line in comments (it has to be an address where you can receive mail, too...), then fix yourself up a roughly square image and upload it...

To see a sample, check the comments of this post. Beware, I wasn't quite creative enough to put the Tazmanian Devil or some bit of Anime esoterica... it's just my plain old ugly mug.

See? It's that hideous thing peeking out from just below here... Now, go wash your eyeballs, then upload your own.

Technology freaks me out. I have followed the instructions. I guess when I post this a picture is supposed to magically appear. We are about to find out!

CGI magic, at your service. :)

Cool how these things work, isn't it?

It is almost supernatural to me. My belief in it has to be faith based ;-)

That's very odd.. I could see Paul's avatar when it was his face, yesterday. Now I see that it has changed, I can see it on pharyngula, but not here. I wonder if gravatars decided to rate it as R? Can't see why they would... Can't think of any reason that it shouldn't show up here.
