Everyone who’s used any kind of forum or bulletin board software will know of avatars–a small icon that represents you, next to all your posts.

Gravatar is a service–not new in any way–which lets you use the same Gravatar for many sites, mostly blogging though.

What you do is go to gravatar.com, sign up for an account and upload an avatar to their servers. The avatar will appear next to your comments and posts in any gravatar-enabled CMS¹

I've been using this service for some time now, and I've also incorporated it into my blog, so go ahead--sign up for one and leave a comment :)
