As the most tech-savvy audience on the internet, you probably already know this. But just in case: if you want to have an image next to your name in the comments—and you should, because it’s awesome—you can make it happen by signing up at gravatar.com. It takes 30 seconds, works on a zillion sites, is free, and doesn’t require you to log into anything in order to work. Do it now, because the more people get avatars, the cooler this place will look for everyone. And after all, slavishly performing your duty to the community is the whole reason you got on the internet in the first place.
I had evidence to back this up, but it was destroyed when my reading candle dripped paraffin on the typewriter, causing a conflagration.
Especially venture capitalists nudge, nudge.

So, apparently I already have an account at gravatar… I don’t remember doing that, though, I don’t remember a lot of things I do in the Internet.
@Ryan And that’s the beauty of gravatar, really. So simple you might as well just forget about it.
Test…
@Brett Well that didn’t work.
@Brett Ah, there we go. You’re welcome for the triple post.
@Brett Stop it! People are going to think this post is important…
@Brian Phillips Fooled me!! Now i have a gravatar… did i need one? No! but then, just like Real Madrid and overpriced, overrated forwards, i went and got it….
Mine doesn’t seem to be working..
Oh, yes it is…
posting out of the lurkosphere for future reference.
@MC Test
Not sure when I signed up, but I already had an account there, too.
hmm testing (sorry)
@Brian Phillips This post is important, Brian. It really is.
Also, test.
Done.
crucial to the continuing evolution of the site – eventually we will all identify each other not by name, but by 70-pixel-square ‘Name-o-grams.’ Very post-words.
@Sean Well said, Lego Hand of God.
glorious site update
Testing, testing.
Good stuff.
Do I get one?
Oh, SNAP!
