Gravatar 2

I guess with my move and all I didn’t realize that Gravatar has been upgraded and now seems to work really well.

For those who don’t know Gravatar, it is one of those super simple yet incredibly useful little services that really help the idea of building loosely interconnected communities on the web. Gravatar maintains a image icon which is mapped to an email address. It can be used and implemented in a bunch of different web services and blogs with out much work.

I’ve had to disable gravatar on this blog and various other services before due to some serious growing pains they have had. Now I’m re-enabling it and I’m pleased.

Tom Werner the owner/founder/programmer has also enabled a premium account which only costs $10 per year and helps fund all the new iron I’m guessing he’s had to fork out for. It allows you to manage multiple email addresses easily and is very cheap. I’ve just signed up and you should too. This will come in handy here soon.
