For no apparent reason… I decided to add Gravatars to the site today! Finally you can set an avatar that will appear next to your comments.

Not that you have to make one… you can always just keep the wacky default avatar I put in!

But yeah, I guess Gravatar has pretty much become the standard in WordPress avatars now… so if you setup a quick account with them and add an avatar, that avatar will carry over to other WordPress blogs that use avatars. So hey, why not, right?

And also, while you’re at it… it never hurts to register with the Halolz site itself. Besides storing all your user info for commenting, there are some other features I’ll be adding to the site soon that may require registration. May as well get all the busy work done now!

Edit: I forgot to mention, after setting up your avatar it takes like 15 minutes before your avatar actually starts to appear. I have no idea why!
