I’ve activated Gravatar support for CHOBLE.
The Gravatar plugin was supported with the Blix theme so all the hard work was already done for me, though I did change the default settings.
Basically, Gravatar allows you to upload an image or avatar to gravatar.com and then associate an email address with the uploaded image. Then, when you supply your email address in the comment form on someone’s blog, the Gravatar plugin automatically retrieves your avatar and you see a gravatar.
If you’d like to see a gravatar next to your comments on CHOBLE, simply visit www.gravatar.com and upload an 80 x 80 pixel image. Once your gravatar (it takes about a day) has been rated, your gravatar will be displayed next to all of your comments.
Here’s my gravatar image that I created in Illustrator and Photoshop. It’s a combination of a vector image overlaid on top of a painting that I posted in Welcome to the New CHOBLE.
Go make a gravatar!
I like your New Choble site (I just updated the link on my blog,) and all of your new illos. You have been doing great work with paint lately, and your digital work retains all the fun colour and textures happening with your non-digital illos. Wonderful stuff.
I really enjoy your art that I found on your art page at gilestimms.com. very good work, it’s fun and great to look at. Maybe you would like the art of http://omie.ru/. Your style is fun and reminded me a little of this. Take care!
That’s a great idea. I will have to go create one. I also like the anti-spam thinger–I think I need to add that to my blog.
Your blog is really coming along. I like it a lot. :)
David — Thanks for the encouragement.
Ester — Thanks, and yes I took a look at the link and I do like the work…very good.
Lindsey — Yes, I really like the Gravatar plugin.
Thanks, guys.
