Have you heard of Gravatars? That name means G-lobally R-ecognized Avatar, and it’s a technology that’s been bouncing around the Internet for a while, albeit in relatively limited terms. I’m not sure why that would be, but I suppose it had something to do with the ability of it’s creators to support the load Gravatar’s popularity created.
See, the idea is that you setup an Avatar on their servers and any site that uses Gravatars in comments will automatically check to see if you have a Gravatar back at the “home base” and if so, display it by your comment. That requires a lot of through-put from whomever is running those servers, and these days, that responsible entity is Automattic, the makers of WordPress. I downloaded the plugin, and now Gravatars are enabled site-wide on the DragonFlyEye.Network.
So, if you comment on any article by any of the great bloggers on this site, your Gravatar will now go with you! Cool, eh?

Rochester radio landscape now without Bud Lowell
[caption id="attachment_51" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Bud Lowell at the controls"]

Bud Lowell's last WXXI radio piece has the same qualities that I've always looked forward to hearing from him. The seven minute piece about Hickey Freeman skillfully integrates ambient audio, the voices of people not frequently heard on corporate radio and Bud's narration. Like so many of Bud's pieces the story doesn't just inform. The listener is left feeling richer . . . More. . . ||

I’ve actually created a Gravatar class if you click the link in my name. Loosely coupled and works like a dream - it also has a cache with an expiration date for the avatar - to save on loading times. It can merely load the avatar in locally.
