Thou shalt make a graven image
If you are a regular reader/commenter here, you may have noticed that each comment is accompanied by a little icon. There's my "camera in front of the face" icon or the grey default "commenter" icon. Some other commenters have their own icons, too. (You can see an example of other commenters' icons in use here.) This icon is called a Gravatar and is linked to your email address, so that when you leave a comment on a Gravatar-enabled blog using your Gravatar-linked email address, your Gravatar pops up next to your comment.
I would have liked to have posted this months ago when I implemented the Movable Type Gravatar plugin, but almost immediately after I did so, Gravatar went into a months-long hiatus and stopped accepting new members. Well I'm proud to announce that Gravatar is back with a new, supposedly sturdier server architecture (or something) and they are finally accepting new members starting today. So if you would like to have your own handy and attractive icon next to your comments in this and many other blogs (for freeeeeee!), rush on over there and sign right up!
ETA: Please comment on this post to show off your new (or old!) Gravatars! I want to see them. :)

OK, let's see if this works.
