Gravatars are Grrrrreat!
December 17, 2008
I’ll start with a definition of what a Gravatar is. A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name on gravatar enabled sites. The most popular place I’ve seen them used are on blogs and in comments.
Tinypic will now recognize yor Gravatar if you have one setup and show it when you share your account with others. It’s a nice way to personalize your account, especially with your favorite theme.
A Gravatar on Tinypic
To setup your gravatar;
1) If you have a Tinypic account and a Gravatar, do nothing. It just works.
Otherwise;
1) Sign up for a tinypic account, - http://tinypic.com/join.php
2) Setup your Gravatar, - http://en.gravatar.com/
3) Enjoy some nice holiday cookies while everyone else enjoys your Tinypic album page! (Cookies are a recurring theme today)
Thanks to the folks at Gravatar for having such an easy service!
