Be a face not a number
Posted under Witterings
People! Listen up….get a gravatar (Globally Recognised Avatar). Sign up for one here for free, gratis, for nothing. All you need to do is provide your email address, upload a photo of yourself and BINGO everywhere you go on the web and comment, say, that brilliant blog called Chez Spud, your photo will appear next to your comment.
Go on, be a sport. Look at the comments on my 12 of 12 post from yesterday. A list of ‘numbers’ commenting, with occasional bright spots of gravatars…yay for Sara, huzzah for Julochka and jubilations for that genius Spudballoo.
You’re not a just a number, you’re not just a name, you’re a person with a face so let’s see ‘em! I’ve shown you mine, so now you show me yours…for anyone not familiar with how I look, and I am notoriously shy about sharing images of myself of the internet (snort, snort, snigger)…here I am. Be afraid, be very afraid…
Right, I’ve spent the best part of 17 minutes trying to sort this out and I got thoroughly confused but I’m giving it a go…

If I could get a gravatar as cool as yours, I’d do it in a heartbeat! Maybe when I’m at blog camp 2.1 I’ll get a fellow bleep to take a fabulous picture of me to make into my gravatar! I think it’s something about those glasses, yep, it’s the glasses, I’ll never be as cute as you…..

Hmmm….I don’t know – can’t you just imagine what I look like behind my iPhone? I would kinda like to keep my iPhone in my picture as I love it so!
Tahhh Dahhhh your wish is my command dearest Spud….I’m such a lemming.
Dang where’s my doo dad… I went on there and fiddled and uploaded and everything!!!!!!! baahhhhh.
OK am I a face now????
AAARRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH you had to do it to me didn’t you… you had to challenge me with a site that is clearly too complicated for such a bear of little brain like me!!!!!! it looked so easy, it came up with my picture when I tried it… where the hell is it now when I want to impress you with it???? You’re a pain in my ass spudballo a pain in my freakin’ big fat ass!!!!!!
OK, this is it… cleared my cache… if it doesn’t work this time I’m quittin’ ya hear me quittin’.
I’m done you can keep your damn gravatar.
Ali, what you DOING?!!! Come on, everyone else managed it…tee hee. Are you using the same email here as you did on the gravatar site?
Yeeessssss!!!! LOL I’m thinking it’s cos I am supposed to be working and not pissing around with this that it’s not working… or just that my work ‘puter won’t play ball. I’ll get it figured out though, remember how slow I was with Twitter and now I’m so advanced it bores me!!!!! :D

ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH what the heck am I doing wrong?????????? :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
Have you rated your gravatar as G? checked the FAQ?
http://en.gravatar.com/site/faq/
Otherwise possibly a problem this end, but no one else is having a problem? Hmmm
yep rated as G…. (of course, have you read my latest post!)… and I went back and did the check thing and it shows my picture with the email address. should I see it when I am commenting or does it just pop up after I hit post comment?
The annoying thing is that it’s a cute picture with no chins involved!!!!
No it should pop up once you’ve commented. I just your gravatar on the admin site, I can see it. So perhaps it’s an issue this end. I will get my big stick out and beat MrSpud…
Ohhhh so I’m not crazy???? or, I am crazy, just I didn’t do nuffink wrong with my grab bar whatsamadoodle?????
isn’t it cute? I’m not that cute in real life!! LOL!!!!
I’m so excited to hear about this. You are awesome! I’m off to do it!
