Gravatar is for all webmasters and not only for Wordpress users as you may think

Avatar is an image snippet that is used to represent one in the Cyberspace, when you perform certain actions like posting a comment or post on a blog.

Gravatar is just a pre-extension of Avatar by the addition of GR to it and GRAvatar stands for Globally Recognized Avatar which as explained above is an image that follows you from site to site, appearing beside your name when you take certain actions on the internet.

The importance of Gravatar cannot be overemphasized, as it remains your major form of identification on the internet.

Though some persons often tend to neglect the importance that Gravatar always offer and always take it on lighter note or misuse it, but Gravatar is your identification in Cyberspace that can even come to play when some matters of litigations arise.

In other words, starting from today, you should start taking your Gravatar serious and always endeavor to use it properly by always selecting appropriate images for that, because you never can tell what can come up any moment.

I noticed that some webmasters often get scared of registering and making use of Gravatar, especially those that operates outside Wordpress platform. They always felt that Gravatar is only made for Wordpress users.

But every other webmasters too can sign up on Gravatar and have their images follow them wherever they go on the internet, and they can even install the Gravatar plugin on their pages that is not Wordpress.

Yes we know that it is true that all Wordpress platform have Gravatar plugin automatically installed on them, but that does not mean that Gravatar cannot be installed on other platforms. Other platforms can also support Gravatar if properly installed using the right channel.

For example in Drupal platform, Gravatar is also installed, then for blogger, Gravatar can be installed using third party Gravatar-supported commenting systems like IntenseDebate and Blokomm.

Now regardless of the platform you make use of, you can always visit Gravatar, register and upload the image that you want to be identified with. When you do that, anytime you visit other pages and take actions like post comments (using the exact email address you use to register on Gravatar) on those that have Gravatar installed on them, your image snippet with always beside you.
