Thought I quickly mention this. You might have noticed that every comment on this blog is associated with an avatar. Mine has a picture of me. Most others are now associated with auto-generated avatars. (Don’t blame me if you get a bad one. It’s AUTO-GENERATED! hehehe)
WordPress uses the Gravatar system. Other places also use Gravatar for showing users’ faces (or whatever they want to show.) I think it’s pretty neat. You sign up for an account. Upload a picture or two. Add email addresses that you use for leaving comments on blogs or forums. Associate each email address with a picture you uploaded. Done. After that your chosen avatar will show up anywhere that uses Gravatar as long as you use an email address that has a Gravatar setup.
Don’t you want to set one up?

great plying! most people tend to underply and end up with 1-2 ply twists per inch, which i think is too loose. nice.

Oh, I don’t know… that green triangular monster avatar… it’s not so bad :^)
Soon. Hopefully. I’ll show you some spinning. but in lieu of spending time doing tech stuff I’d rather spin right now… I’m a brat.

P.S. I kind of like the little purple thing!

How come you get the green triangle every time? And are you making a face at me?

Hey! You are also getting the same one every time. I guess you are assigned one, and one only. I am tempted to switch to other monster avatars.

Good gravy, I am so grateful you posted this, lest I never have figured it out. I’m totally digging and stumbling this! Thanks, Jason

It’s an important tool in representing yourself on social networks.
