This is my first time to comment here, but I’ve been following your blog since I discovered it. You’re one of my favorite bloggers because you give great advice and I can tell that you really want to help people.

Thanks for posting this. I didn’t realize that using a gravatar is very important. I thought I only need it so I won’t look like someone who wants to spam.

Hi,

I am very new to blogging and I have already registered at Gravatar and I found myself confused when I see myself in some posts and missing my gravatar in many posts.Your article has explained about each and everything and especially I have to give a try at that logo thing which is new and ready to do now.

Hi Erik,
Though I received the notification on time about this post, somehow due to my preoccupation I missed it. This is a must thing to do by every blogger. I say MUST! The reason is that we bloggers are commentators too! So when we comment on others post our identity should be revealed and for this our avatar picture is a must. These days since we are getting millions of spam comments in our inbox, to identify the real writer it is always comment with our real picture, there the need of gravatar arises. It will be so easy to identify the commentor and the blog owner can easily accept or approve their comments, otherwise even if your comment is a very constructive and relevant one it may not approve or it may not get the attention of the web or blog owner, sometimes it will lie there only in the spam folder, to avoid this this common error one need to have an avatar picture, there the need of gravatar comes in.

Always it is good to present ourselves as ourselves!!! Of course, some people post someone else picture, or some quote or some pics like dog, cat or some famous personalities pics or some of their favorite things like trees, nature etc. as their avatar picture.

Thanks Erik for this informative tuto on this very important subject. I am sure this will be a great help to many new bloggers. Some time back the famous Pro blogger Chery Schmidt wrote a wonderful Guest post on my page under the title; “ Adding Your Picture To WordPress Blog Comments Helps Brand You (A Guest Post by Chery Schmidt)” I am sure reading that post will surely add some value to this informative post.

Thanks once again Erik for presenting such a useful post to your readers.

Keep sharing

Keep informed

Best

~ Phil

Hi Erik

To build better relationships and connections, I am in support that one needs a Gravatar. It is strange that people would want to hide their identity and hope to make a difference.

Love your tips and apt images. Thanks for sharing. Have a swell week.

Hello Erik, I think setting up your gravatar is very important and did write a guest blog for a friend on this subject sometime ago . One thing I did not talk about though was how to add New Default plugin to get rid of those ugly default images.

Sweet Idea, Now i have to come up with a logo.

Great Share
Thanks
Chery :))

Hi, Eric!

Gravatars are extremely important. I always prefer using gravatars. And, I recommend people to use them because it’s about recognition and personal branding. Do you agree with me?

Hey Erik,

Thanks for putting this together.

I had some trouble sorting things out with Gravatar. This post makes the progress a lot more easy. Also, an other nice takeaway in this post is add a new default gravatar plugin. Wasn’t aware of this plugin. Should check this out soon.

cheers,

Yordi
