As I now know that everyone visiting this site isn’t aware, and just in case any of you zany peeps are wondering, if you’d like to put cool little pic next to your comments here on Heavy Metal Geek, it’s easy. Not long ago, I updated the site to use the simple and convenient, widely recognized avatar solution that is known as… GRAVATAR!

Though this sounds like the name of some long-defeated Decepticon, I assure you fine people (and Autobots) that it’s something far less diabolical. Simply visit www.gravatar.com, sign up for an account, upload the photo you’d like to use, and you’re all set. Your newly-created avatar will now show up here on HMG along with a plethera of other website and blogs. Well, as long as you put the electronic mailing address you used to sign up to gravatar.com in the e-mail field when adding your comment. That’s it. Easy. So do it.
