If you are a member on a forum you will no doubt be familiar with avatars. An image under your username that shows up on all your posts.

Well a gravatar is a global avatar. You sign up by clicking here (or typing in http://en.gravatar.com/site/signup/) its free by the way.

Then if you are on a website that supports gravatars (so not just our site) your little image will show up without you having to do anything else ever!

I like it. you dont have to get one. I have though =]
