Gravatar – your global avatar

You must have noticed the photos of people in their comments.

These avatars help identify your articles and comments on blogs and web forums.

Gravatar is an image that follows you from page to page next to your name. It is used by WordPress and many other blogging systems.

If you want to be easily identified on the Internet, you should use Gravatar. Ideally the same as you use on Facebook or Google+ or Google autorship.

When people see your avatar a few times, there’s a good chance they’ll remember it. And when they see him again, they won’t give it to them and finally click on him to find out more about you. Gravatar is a handy tool for building your own brand.

How to add Gravatar?

1. Register at http://sk.gravatar.com (if you already have a wordpress.com account, you do not even need to register)
2. Add your own avatar to the emails you use to comment on the site. It could be your photo or something that captures you.
3. Write a comment on this article to check how your Gravatar works.

Edit 5/18/2014: We translated Gravatar into Slovak. If you want to have the Gravatar settings in Slovak, all you have to do is change the URL from en.gravatar.com to sk.gravatar.com after logging in.
