Site Enhancement: Commenter Images
Aussie Dave | Oct 24, 2007 | 11 comments
In order to improve the community feel of this joint, I have added a WordPress plugin that shows a commenter’s Gravatar, based on their email address, next to their comment.
What’s a Gravatar, I hear some of you ask? According to the Gravatar site:
A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an 80×80 pixel avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on weblogs?
So what are you waiting for? Don’t be shy. Sign up here and help improve the Israellycool experience.

Seems to be working for me, Shy Guy. I see someone (presumably you) at the Kotel.
It’s not me but it just as well could have been.
My Gravatar comes from the most visited German political blog PoliticallyIncorrect.de
