If you’ve noticed a bunch of commenters (such as me) have an image next to their name - this is called an avatar and it helps to identify you. We use the gravatar service, so you can sign up with the email address you use to comment here and upload an avatar which will automatically be shown next to all your posts!

Check it out at Gravatar.com
