How to Create a Gravatar account and create your Identity Online
What is a gravatar?
A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an 80×80 pixel avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums and allows you to create your Identity online.
How Do I create a Gravatar?
Signing up for a Gravatar is simple and above all FREE. All you need is to associate a picture with your Email address. This would be the email address you enter while commenting. It is important that this email account is legit. My suggestion, associate your Blog’s email account with your Gravatar account.
Step # 1: Sign up for your Gravatar account
You can signup here to Get your Own Gravatar
All you need is your email address! You will then receive a confirmation email including a link that will activate your Gravatar account and allow you to set your password.
Step # 2: Set up a password.
Once you sign up, you will get a confirmation email. Click on that link. You will then be taken to a page where you will be asked to type in your password. Set your password.
Step # 3: Upload a picture, set up your Gravatar
You are now told you have no gravatar. Click on Add a new one. You can choose and upload this image from your computers hard drive or from the internet somewhere. It can be anything and remember you are associated with your unique email address so you do not need to worry about uploading a duplicate picture.
Step # 4: Crop your picture and set up a rating for your picture.
Yes, you get to set a rating for the picture you just uploaded as G, PG, R or X rated. X rated means you uploaded a private picture of your very private parts or something explicit. I would suggest not to do so as many blogs would block a gravator to show only G or PG Gravatars.
Step # 5: Associate your Gravatar with your Email address
This is the last step. Once done you are all set. Whenever you comment on a blog post from now on with your email address, your Gravatar would show up next to your comment. You can still post an anonymous comment, but what’s the fun in that !
Congratulations. You just created your Identity online

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

I really need to get myself a gravatar account, so many bloggers have suggested to me to get one lol, but I keep putting it aside, looks pretty easy from your directions.
