Commenters can have gravatars! (Stands for groovy avatars)

Just kidding. Gravatar means “globally recognized avatar.” It’s an image that accompanies any comment you post on any Forum or blog that has gravatar functionality. Check out my comment below, with a mug of moi. Currently, folks see artsy colored squares beside their comments. But by using the free Gravatar service, you can pick any image you want. (It doesn’t have to be a portrait. It can be a cartoon figure or any icon you’d like to represent you.) To create a gravatar, go here and sign up and follow the easy steps.  Just another fun feature of WordPress.

    Shown is a shot of me from last year’s Southern California Striders awards dinner, when I received the club’s “Renegade” award. It’s the highest honor they bestow — after every other honor they bestow. But I was thrilled to be recognized.
