One of the first things you want to do when signing up or logging in for the first time is adding your profile picture. To make the process relatively simple we integrated with a free service called Gravatar – it was created by the same group/individual(s) who started WordPress. “Gravatar” is a word made from the description “A Globally Recognized Avatar”…and thousands of sites use the service. Many times if you comment on a blog they will have integrated with Gravatar and assuming you have a photo added to your Gravatar account, that photo (Gravatar) will show in the comment you just made.
