Thanks! Already wondered from where the pictures come and how to do that. It’s really good for branding and recognition if the comment also shows an image of the person who has commented.

Thank you for the instruction. I have been wondering since yesterday how to get the photo of the person to be on the comment.

It is good to have this feature as we can know each other who commented on this fabulous blog.

Great addition… plus I loved the musical interlude!

[Reply]

Thank you so much for this! I have been getting so much valuable information on this site!

[Reply]

I already had my gravatar set up through wordpress, but having it used here is a nice bonus!

[Reply]

Yep, I’ve been using Gravatar for ages now. It’s good to get an image of yourself branded if you are trying to create a brand name for yourself. It’s something people instantly recognize before they do your name.

[Reply]

Gravatars do make a big difference. :)

[Reply]

Hi – Thanks for the email about “gravatars”. I got mine. I did it as it is a branding tool as I have never had much luck with flavicon software.

[Reply]

Wow, Now it’s personal!

[Reply]

Thanks for the great tip!

[Reply]

Love being able to ’see’ who is writing the comments. YAY!

Yay! Say, does ezine have a WordPress plugin? Grin

[Reply]

This is a great feature and I am beginning to see it pop up all over the place! Kudos for adding it.

[Reply]

Thanks for the helpful advice about Gravatar’s.

It’ll save me time and hassle from uploading images of me all over the place.

[Reply]

Thanks for the tip. Although I have not begun to submit articles yet, I’m well on the way and this with come in handy for name recognition.

[Reply]

Hey Thanks Chris. I wondered how others were able to have their photo along with their signature.
Cool;-).

lovie

[Reply]

Wooohooo — way to go EzineArticles!! I’m a big fan of Gravatar as part of my Radical Strategic Visibility concept… often on blog comments you may be the only one with an avatar cuz peeps just don’t know where they get pulled in from. ;)

Two thumbs up!

Cheers,

Chris,

Thanks for the tip!

I look forward to your emails, as they are always informative and fun!

Keep them coming!

[Reply]

When I tried to signup I was told my email address was already in use. What should I do now…if anything? How can I check to know for sure it is actually in use?

[Reply]

Here I come! Or do I? Let’s see!

[Reply]

Wow!!! Chris, the Mahaguru! Sky is not the limit learning with Him!

[Reply]

Now, we can upload company logo on our entries. Thanks

[Reply]

I’m astounded at the number of people who don’t take advantage of gravatars.

At my blog, I sometimes see 12 comments on a certain post. Which one sticks out among all the others? The one with the gravatar!

Thanks for adding this nice touch for Publicity Hounds everywhere. EzineArticles rocks!

[Reply]

Keep on keeping on eZineArticles. You are the BEST and still showing the way.

Definitely, it adds color to writing stuffs.

[Reply]

What fun Chris, thanks so much. I’m no longer a faceless name in the crowd…..

[Reply]

OK, let’s see if my gravatar works!

[Reply]

Thanks for the tip!

[Reply]

Thanks Chris. It’s always better to ’see’ who is doing the talking and/or the answering. Cool addition.

[Reply]

Chris, thank you so much for posting this! I agree with others, above, that not enough people know about the Gravatar! I’ve been using this since November (08), and just logged in, prompted by your email. I did not realize that you can use more than one email address and gravatar! And that is very cool! When posting out there on the Internet, this incredible service makes things much easier. As for creating “brand,” this cannot be beat.

Have a super day!
Leanne

[Reply]

Thanks Chris
I always wondered where the pics came from
cheers
Steve

[Reply]

When I sign up, it says my email already exists. I’m curious to see if I already have a gravatar. Here goes.

[Reply]

OK, what did I do wrong? No picture, sniff, sniff, no gravatar.

[Reply]

hi every one

Excellent move.

How one can fly without wings in the sky?

Here is the chance with Ezine blog wings.

don’t wait, just in

Gopal

[Reply]

Sure will make things easier. Thanks for the heads up and for signing on to this Chris.

[Reply]

Well I gave it a try also. Looking forward to seein how it works…

[Reply]

Thanks for the tip Chris,

I too was told my email was already being used! So I used the forgot password to get it reset and uploaded my gr-avatar.

Not sure why their system is rejecting valid emails but at least there is a workaround.

[Reply]

Like the gravatar. How do u get one?

[Reply]

Done… now lets see if it works and I can say, “Ta dow!”

[Reply]

“Ta dow!”

[Reply]

Wow, this is tooo cooool.

[Reply]

Thank u everyone that replyed to my question.

[Reply]

I just signed up the other day, but haven’t seen if it works. Thanks for the opportunity to test it out!

[Reply]

I really appreciate the tip on gravatars. Now I’m testing it out on your blog.

[Reply]

Well that was a pretty easy process and I think this Gravitar is a fantastic tool for individual branding – well done to the designers

[Reply]

If I did this right, I can truly say: “THAT was easy!”

[Reply]

I set my password and I’m trying again.

[Reply]

Hey! Love it…as usual, you are top of the line! ;-)

[Reply]

Another nice Ezine Article touch – well done!

Jeff

[Reply]

Is signing up for Gravatar all I have to do?
Thanks – you guys rule!

[Reply]

All,

Feel free to keep trying and posting on this thread until your Gravatar shows up.

You won’t see my gravatar when I do a blog comment because myself and our team have hard-coded avatars so that you know when we’re responding on behalf of EzineArticles vs. non-EzineArticles staff. Hope that makes sense.

[Reply]

OK, let’s see if this works!

[Reply]

Just did it. Cool!!

[Reply]

Good,

I d like see if this works well !
I d like undestant it better.

[Reply]

Excellent! Don’t we just love technology!

[Reply]

another trial

[Reply]

Our logos got some power now!

[Reply]

How much better is it to see who actually is writing the comment. A personal touch. Thank you!

[Reply]

Extremely cool!

[Reply]

Thanks for the information! I didn’t realize that gravatar now offered multiple images and multiple email addresses. That means I can have something a little more attractive to look at when I post here. =)

I also wanted to mention that IMHO, Marc is probably one of the BEST bloggers on the web. I love reading his stuff! EzineArticles has improved 10-fold since he joined the team.

Keep up the good work, buddy!

[Reply]

It’s like magic. Compliments to all the engineers who figured out how to make this work.

[Reply]

Hmmm… Seems like I already have one of those, but now I’m not sure.

[Reply]

Okee Dokee then. Went over and set it up.
Let’s see how this works.
Thanks
Michael

[Reply]

Excellent post, many thanks.
Gravatars really help with personal branding and tieing up disparate posts made across different platforms.

[Reply]

This is pretty cool, handy and super quick to setup. I was surprised to see I already had an a/c though with a username I use elsewhere so the ‘creators’ of gravatar must have another business that I’m a member of? just used the reset password function like the others and it’s all sorted. Cheers.

[Reply]

Very nice. It’s an unexpected change, but a welcome one. :)

[Reply]

good and thanks.

[Reply]

Thanks Chris. This is pretty cool stuff. Hats off to you for providing this wounderful tool for branding. Let us see how this works.

[Reply]

Thanks Chris! As always, great information! Here’s hoping I got it to work.

[Reply]

Woohoo! It worked!

[Reply]

I love how you’ve all worked really fast to adopt this Gravatar concept. It really adds serious credibility to your blog comments (not only on this blog, but all blogs that plug into the Gravatar database)!

[Reply]

Just had to drop in with a comment … so I could see my Gravatar in action!

[Reply]

Testing Gravatar!

Regards,
Dan Ho

[Reply]

Awesome! This is great, Chris.

No doubt, adding a face, especially to the Internet, helps a lot.

Best,
Dan

[Reply]

Thanks for the tip … it’s a great idea! All the very best to the EzineArticles team.

[Reply]

thanks

[Reply]

pph, what a handsome mug! :)

[Reply]

This is so cool! Provides instant self-identity across all platforms on the internet!

[Reply]

where the pictures come and how to do that, Well done it’s very useful for another business in Gravator

[Reply]

OK now I REALLY have to get a better mug shot!

[Reply]

Congrats to Chris and the EzineArticles Team for adding the faces. Now everyone will be inspired to write even more :-)

[Reply]

What an excellent idiot proof way of branding thanks

[Reply]

Thought you all should be the first to know that we’ve made Gravatar’s live site-wide on all 2 million articles!

We’ll be announcing this next week to everyone else.

An example: (look for Bob)

[Reply]

very good and nice

I very like it

thanks you for this cool stuff

[Reply]

Cris,
I’ve been introduced to the Gravatar by Cristina Hills; I believe you are right: it’s a great free tool for brabg recognition and increased friendliness…
Since you seen to be so knowledgeable, ca you please tell me (if you know, of course) why my avatar is Not showing, despite signing up and confirming..and all…?
I don’t know where to turn to fix this…?
Thanx,
Anca

[Reply]

sorry!
“it’s a great free tool for brabg recognition and increased ”
that was supposed to be BRAND recognition

[Reply]

Awesome! I like it. Already used it for some of the other sites I write for. Keeps things simple!

[Reply]

hi every one

I loves and recognize GARAVTARS.

lOVE IS GREAT AND UNVALUABLE.

MY DREAM TO CONVERT INTO REALITY
TO SEE GARAVATAR UP TO ZENITH.

O LORD AND MASTER AND MY BELOVED ALMIGHTY
PERFECT, EXAITED, UNAPPROACHABLE AND INFNITE.

PRAYS GOPAL, LISTEN MY VOICE AND GRANT
AND MERGE GARAVATAR IN YOUR FAMILY

HOW TO FIX PHOTO?

GOPAL LITTLE MASTER, REMEMBER YOU ALL

[Reply]

When a personal picture is displayed, it is a great way to identify better with those that are commenting as well as validate that there is a person standing behind the comments.

[Reply]

For people who use their real photo, it’s great to see who’s writing!

Ken

[Reply]

Hi every one

Good decission and all the way to win.

Every thing has two ways.

One has front and back.
One has head and tail in the coin.
One side GRAVATARS AND EZINE.
Gravatars merge to become one.
ONE AND ONE IS ELEVEN.

EXCELLENT STEP.

GOPAL LITTLE MASTER WELCOMES YOU ALL

[Reply]

Yahoo Ezine Articles! I know that when I am teaching article marketing, I am always emphasizing how important it is to make “useful” comments that stand out on other people’s articles. Using a gravatar helps tremendously because so many other commenters do not use them – you will be noticed. Plus – seeing a face next to the comment helps instill trust in the commenter. I know I prefer to know who I am listening to!

[Reply]

Hi every one

How to get feed back?

By leave a comment.

It reflects real image of some one.

more comments more gain.

Who do give the comments?

Who-so-ever loves toooooooooooooo.

GopAL, LITTLE MASTER, ALL THE BEST

[Reply]

When I tried to sign up it said that my e-mail was already taken….maybe I signed up a while ago and forgot about it. By posting this message I will get to see if my avatar posts next to the message.

[Reply]

Well my photo didn’t show so I don’t know what to do now. Any suggestions.

[Reply]

Jan, It’s possible you have an account but did not assign a photo to that email yet. When you log in with your email address, you should be able to go to “manage” and see if you have any photos uploaded. If you do not, you go to “add an image” and you can upload an image, crop it and then assign it to your email address. You can also add multiple email addresses with different photos each.

[Reply]

This is a good programme, we can now see image that speaks.

[Reply]

Hi every one

Welcome soooooooooooooo to Gravtars.

Sunil Gavaskar was the little master! Tu kaun hain yaar!(Who are You!) High time Gopal the Poet reveals Himself!

[Reply]

I don’t remember signing up for mine, but when I tried to just now, it told me my e-mail address was already taken. Hope it was me, or I shall be suffering an identity crisis.

[Reply]

Nope! I’ve just tried again to sign up for a gravatar and it keeps telling me that e-mail address is taken. By whom, I’d like to know? Help! What do I do?

[Reply]

Mel, Contact their support: http://en.gravatar.com/site/faq/

If it was you, they can help you recover password. If it was not you, they can help you sort that out as well.

[Reply]

Hey.. This is really cool. These gravatars really add life to the comment!! Cheers!

Hi, I think this branding is great! I haven’t used it to it’s fullest, but I sure do tire going to “my pictures” and uploading a pic (avatar) for each site or forum.

[Reply]

Okay I love this. Let’s see if it shows up.

[Reply]

Thanks for the info. I think I already have this service. Will see when comment posted.

[Reply]

Wow! That was easy. Thanks for the tip.

[Reply]

That WAS easy!~ Coolbeans.

[Reply]

oops. The last one didn’t show up. Lets see if I can get this right. :)

[Reply]

You got it now, Cynthia! Now we see that smiling face. :)

[Reply]

thanks Lisa, for some reason it didn’t show up right away. :)

[Reply]

There is usually a 5-15 minute delay for their servers to update. The same thing will happen if you change your photo. :)

[Reply]

Thanks Lisa – and Chris, I guess. My gravatar popped up all on its own! I see from other entries that it may take a few moments. It’s great to see everyone – and to be seen. I think ;-( Not a great fan of my own photos – bit camera shy!

[Reply]

Thats cool and I just did it :)

[Reply]

This is a great development. Gravators make everyone so human..

[Reply]

A big HELLO and THANKS to all at Ezine Articles!
And, just checking my Gravatar.
A great idea!

[Reply]

What a great idea!
Once again, EzineArticles never ceases to amaze me with their great ideas and fab user services.
Way To Go!

[Reply]

Ha Ha Ha, just checking, and wanted to re-assure you that no Turtles were harmed during the making of my Gravitar.
