Those Little Icons In The Comments

by Flexo on April 6, 2006. Filed under Administration.

You may have noticed that there is a little icon that appears next to the name listed for each comment left on Consumerism Commentary. (It doesn’t seem to be working with Internet Explorer at the moment, but I’ll look into that.) If you can see them, most people have icons that look like question marks. I’ve enabled gravatars — globally recognized avatars. You can set a small icon to be associated with your email address, and the icon will automatically follow you to any site that has also enabled gravatars. Check it out, if you like.

How long does it usually take for them to “rate” your gravatar. I have been wait for a while.

It took a couple of days for them to approve mine… and I want to change it anyway. Having my face plastered all over this site is not what I really want…

Pretty cool…too bad my blogs favicon looks stupid and pixelated when it gets blown up to 80×80. Will have to change that…but still like the idea. Nice job.
