Want a custom avatar to use on Resto4Life.com whenever you comment? Simply do the following:
- Visit http://site.gravatar.com/signup.
- Enter your e-mail address and click Signup.
- Check the e-mail account with which you’ve registered for an e-mail from support@gravatar.com.
- Click the activation link supplied.
- Enter a password and confirm it.
- Click the Manage link at the top of the page.
- Click on the Add a New One link at the bottom of your My Gravatars page.
- Select either My computer’s hard drive to use a file stored on your computer or An image on the internet to enter a URL of an existing avatar.
- Select a file or enter a URL and click Next.
- All done!
Now whenever you post a comment on Resto4Life.com (or any other site using the Gravatars plugin), your custom avatar will appear!
Note that due to caching performed by the Gravatars plugin, your new Gravatar may not be immediately visible but should show up within a few minutes.

*hugs* .-= Softi´s last blog ..Dum di dum di dum =-.
Yea, i did this awhile ago and i couldn’t seem to get it to work. >.< it shows that i have a Gravatar assigned to my email but it dosen’t show. =/
Well, you know I just have to try this, and see how it looks.
(Like Zackoria, it doesn’t seem to show up. Just an empty box with a link to gravatar.com)
Just what I wanted to know!
Also, there’s one more step: you have to then go back to ‘manage’ and select the avatar you just uploaded. I hope! We’ll see in a second….
[edit] Oh…
Hmmms ….
I’s got Gravatar, and I’s used it on other sites, but it don’ seem to be working here. /shrug
Lame. Me fix. Hopefully.
Edit: Phae SMASH!!! Doh.
Edit 2: Phae fix!! YAY!
good job ;D
ps. I just noticed the Christmas Tree of Life, very nice ;D
Very cool
Hooray for avatars. Can a more robust message board be far behind? We can only hope.
@Minkee: Haha … thanks!! My favorite part is the lopsided star. <3 <3 <3 the WoW Model Viewer!
@Bigtoy: No one has expressed interest in a message forum before. The decision to add them is not a decision to be made lightly, since doing so responsibly (which is the only way I could) is apparently a LOT of work. =) I have noticed (and enjoyed) a lot of great conversations going on here lately, though.
Yay! It works!
Another test…
Gravatar doesn’t like me!
I’ve tried it before on another account and didn’t work. Seems like it doesn’t work on this one too! I can see it fine associated with this e-mail address and even used all lower case just in, well, case…
Have to test this out myself.
woot! just testing…
@Someone: We can see your avatar just fine. Well … I can. Can anyone else?
=P
Testing my new Gravatar.
Ooooo look, another person testing it out!
Thanks Phae!
Why do I keep seeing the gravatar logo on mine? I have configured it…
Yeah it works now… I messed up the rating options cause of a page crash
Is the text on my avatar too small…after looking at it again I think it might be
It is a bit small, but it looks really good.
Test test ^^ Did it work?
Aha, I was wondering why there were empty spaces for icons but nowhere to pick one… now I know!
All seems present and correct for me…
Now, if only you allowed OpenID sign-in for commenting…
I think I already have a gravatar that works.
Kestrel seems to have Gravatar set up but my avatar wasn’t showing on his page. I think I followed all your instructions right, but now I’m not completely sure.
Here goes: “Testing”
Edit: Apparently it works fine. Thanks Phae!
I just want to test if that works
TESTING. Does it work?
I absolutely adore the Lifeblooming blob!!!
That being said, I have to disagree. Why give us ooc rez? I agree with the priest above and with Bornakk.
Druids have always required more skill to play. We are the most hybrid of the hybrids.
Testing does it work?
is it case sensitive?
checking:>
This Was Fun!
Testing testing test test test.
I don’t think it’s working…
I think it sometimes takes a while for the Gravatar to display (I use caching and Gravatar seems to have a bit of delay, too). Also, it appears to be case-sensitive. So check back later, maybe.
And another test here, to check for avatar! ^_^
