Universal Avatars
Saturday, June 14th, 2008There is a universal avatar service called Gravatars that you can register with so that sites that are Gravatar enabled will show your Avatar when your email is recognised.
They support transparent GIFs so I would make such a gif so it will work on forums that shade the background area.
I’m not sure what the standard size is, I think it’s 48 pixels square.
Anyway, it’s quick and easy to put into place if you have a square image or icon available for your Avatar. Go to: www.gravatar.com
You can test your avatar and get a do-follow link in the process here
The link between your posts/comments and your Gravitar is your email address that you registered with the Gravitar service.
Enjoy
