I don’t know … I go to all the trouble (a staggering 4 minutes work) of adding Gravatar support to my comments, only to discover that 95% of you people don’t have one!

For the uninitiated, a Gravatar is a picture that shows up next to any comments you leave on an enabled site - go to the Gravatar site, upload an image and attach it to your email address. Any site worth it’s salt won’t display your email address anywhere (to avoid you getting loads of spam) and once you register, your picture will automatically show up on any comments you’ve left on Gravatar enabled sites in the past … provided you left your email address, of course.

Good man. - @ Lbards : Have you got a Blogger account? Unfortunately, the Blogger avatars only show up on other Blogger blogs. - Timmargh

My Gravitar has not been rated yet. Stupid system. - Lbarbs

Patience, young padewan. - Timmargh

Me too, me too! I have a Gravitar but must wait for it to be rated. - Gimpy Mumpy

oh, i can’t be bothered with those, lol. Takes me ages to sort these images out. I know everyone on the net loves ‘em but, the ones that have a moving image my screen magnifier/reader doesn’t like. I have to be awkward, I know, lol. - Justin R

No worries, Justin - it’s easy for people to forget that there are many internet users who are visually impaired. Maybe we need personalised sounds, too? - Timmargh

Hey, it works! ME —> (is infact an illegal WeeMe from MSN) - Lbarbs

sounds would be cool! great idea. imagine the fun that we could have with sounds lol. I love them! :) - Justin R
