Gravatar – How To Have Your Image Appear in Blog Comments

Have you ever wondered why some people have images next to the blog comments that they write?

To have an image show up with your comments, all you have to do is sign up for a free account at Gravatar and upload an image. As you can see from my screenshot, you can store multiple avatars and select the one that you currently want to use.

When you leave a comment, you must use the same email address associated with your gravatar account or your image will not be displayed.

So, if you leave comments, please sign up for a gravatar account and let me see who you are.

2 out of 2 Commenters Recommend Subscribe to Comments Plugin for WordPress

Proud Pride (by BrianScott)

What? Not everyone likes and dislikes the same things that I do?

I tend to forget that my likes and dislikes are not the same as others’. I made the mistake of not offering an option on my site because it isn’t something that I would use. I’m not going to classify this as excessive pride. Instead, I’m going to look at it as caring about my own needs rather that the needs of my readers. And this is a mistake, potentially a big one.

Last week I discussed commentful, which I use for tracking comments that I leave on other sites. I asked what other people use to track comments. Both Scam and Trisha said that they like to subscribe to comments via email and use that feature when the plugin is installed.

Full of Things to Say? Track Your Comments with Commentful

354/365 off the beaten track (by obo-bobolina)

I never used to leave comments on blogs. I lacked the confidence. I didn’t think I had anything to contribute. Since I started this site, I have made a point to leave comments. Now, I enjoy the interaction with others. Well, usually. The most enjoyable sites to comment on are one’s where the author responds and appreciates her community.

As I started commenting more, I found it difficult to keep track of where I had commented. Sometimes I would ask a question and then forget to return and see if there was a response. I’ve tried a couple of solutions to this and am currently using commentful by blogflux.

I am intrigued by Disqus, especially since the new WordPress plugin which syncs Disqus with WordPress, but am hesitant to install it. For example, they had an outage last night, which affected comments. At least when I am in complete control I only have to worry about the stability of my web host, which, after 5 great years has not been so good lately.

Disqus on Tumblr – Add Integrated Comments

A tumblelog is a type of microblog that uses mixed media, such as images, video clips and links, rather than longer article type posts used in traditional blogs. The best well known is probably tumblr.

Tumblr

Tumblr can be used to lifestream by adding up to 5 feeds, such as flickr, del.icio.us, shared items in Google Reader and specific RSS feeds. When used in this manner, the feeds can be set up and then you don’t really need to think about it again. I prefer to use tumblr with posts, images and videos related to a specific theme. For example, I have one called From the Hip, which is about upcoming video games and includes screenshots and gameplay videos from games that I am currently playing.  Continue …
