No, it’s my second post! When people leave a comment without a gravatar, I often say; ps. Why don’t you get a Gravatar, a picture connected to your comments?! I created a post to show you how to get this simple and free account! Check this out here: http://lindagraceonline.com/get-the-focus-on-you/ After you do come back and leave a comment and let me see!
Finally I decided to make a new, shorter version so that people will actually get the Gravatar, but you still haven’t! Come on, get a Gravatar!

I agree with you Linda, in my personal opinion it makes the commenting look authentic and more interactive, when i see a small pic, i fell like i am interacting with a real person..

Hi Ms. Linda!
As I’ve said I visit here again.
Take easy on me, I use gravatar obviously. I got my laughs on the ones who commented here. On Anna’s side. I really am appreciating the way you respond.
As I’ve said before, an author of a blog rarely comments or have an effort answering the ones who comment. The times I visit your blog posts are making me every visit a great fan of yours. Truly I like the way you interact.
Same as Keywordluv, what is the sense if people are using “keywords” as their name. Didn’t their parents named them as a human being must have? Same as Gravatar, it shows your identity thus making you a sense of points against spam. Obvious people are not into the proper conversation. A name and a face not of a stranger alien like anonymous.
Till here Miss Linda!
I assure you I will visit more often.

Gravatar is a nice service that makes the internet a bit more personal. You can save time by adding your picture once, and then anytime you change it, your new picture will show up on all Gravatar powered sites and apps. Plus, the Gravatar profile pages are a rather nice way to make a quick site to share more info about you with the world.

You’re right, it isn’t necessarily personally branding if an image is used instead of their picture, but everyone has a different purpose! It could be a symbol just to state a person’s passion. After all, not everyone online is marketing!

I look forward to learning your name! I understand what you’re saying, many people don’t want to create a Gravatar with their picture, but they use some kind of image that they love, a flower, an animal or something to be remembered by. It all depends on what our purpose for blogging and commenting is!
Linda
September 1st, 2011 at 4:13 am
Hi Linda, my gravatar might not reflect my own face but it represents the company I stand. Though this topic is quite simple, many still ignore this important small detail of socialization.

It makes me glad to see i’m not the only one with a gravatar, this happens on some blogs and then i feel left out. Kind of lose the will to leave a comment, if you know what i mean.
