Gravatar is now Supported
Last time when I had my site hosted at host-dot.com, I installed gravatar, then once I moved to blogsome.com, being a totally free (and commercial) blogging platform, the ability to play around with their Wordpress installation is gone - due to the risk of security to their servers.
Now that I have total control over the domain, I’ve installed gravatar once again!
What the heck is Gravatar anyways?
To put it in a really simple term, “Gravatar” means “Globally Recognized Avatar”.
So what’s so good about it?
It’s not something that would save your life if anything, but if you’ve been participating in various discussion boards (forums) everywhere, you will notice that you can specify/upload your avatar in order to graphically represent your posts. The idea is the same - except that when you post on a Gravatar-enabled site, the avatar that you’ve uploaded into Gravatar will be displayed. Should you feel like changing your avatar, just logon to Gravatar and change it - and all your avatars in all those gravatar-enabled websites will be changed too!
Neat, isn’t it?
How does it work? How come I have a gravatar, but I keep getting “?” images?
Gravatar needs one thing to know which avatar to show - your email address. Keep note that in order to have your gravatar image properly shown, you need to input the exact email address you used to sign up with gravatar when posting comments here. Don’t worry, the email will never ever be displayed, sold, spammed or added to any weird mailing list. It is only used to two purpose - validating your comments, and enabling your gravatar
I have the correct email address but yet it doesn’t show!
I only enable gravatar that have been labeled “R” and below. You can read about their rating system. I don’t want explicit images being used here.
Feel free to ask should you guys have anymore questions :)
Let’s see if my gravatar shows here. I had a gravatar for quite a while :p

Planning to add more plugins? :P
How about the one that can display comment immediately (with cool fade out effect) after posting. I think it’s called lite box or something. AJAX FTW.

Sorry Nirah, your comments was listed as ’spam’ on my spam blocker because you used the word ‘test‘ on the first post.
This is a common method by ‘blog-comment-spam’ bots to test of whether they can comment-spam your blog. Once they found out that they can, expect to see millions of comments posted containing hundreds on URL. It’s one of the ways to improve their ranking in major search engines, as more links to their site = more popularity, thus the engines will rank them higher.
Most of these comment-spamming is done by those online gambling sites. I had this problem last time, went through hell deleting the comments, as they keep coming. Thank god I found the anti-spam plugin :)
P/s: Any comments containing URLs will be filtered as well.
