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.

I vouch for this product and/or service. Look at my face! With a click of a few buttons and possibly some sort of copyright infringement, I am Samuel Peypysys!

Brian, your pursuit of outside investment has inspired me to no longer hide my love for Jermaine Pennant. Thank you for your courage.
@Jim Hey, I’m about nothing if not standing up for Jermaine Pennant.
Brian, the more involved I become with your site, the more I feel I should thank you for enhancing and augmenting my enjoyment of voetbal. As such, thank you.
Providing that I’ve done it correctly, the kind face of Kevin Kilbane should now be featured on your site for what I imagine is the first time. A proud day for Irish left-backs everywhere.
@Brian Phillips I never saw that bit about Pennant’s dad. That is some first-rate condemnation of the News of the World on your part. First-rate!
I was going to pick Jack Wilshere but the poor lad has enough pressure on him as newly appointed Savior of British Football, so… angry baby.
I love this place. It had improved my life.
@Brian Phillips – but would you stand up for Sean Wright-Phillips?
I’m starting to suspect an ulterior motive here…..
Captain for Life!
One of us! One of us!
I’m eating pizza! I’m eating pizza!
Can you defend Harry ‘twitcha’ Redknapp? I keep expecting Batman (when not turning in a shift for fathers for justice) to arrest him and turn him in to FA commissioner James Gordon….
98% of projects never receive venture funding. Gonna have to call the angels
You do amazing work, Brian. You should be commended.
I’m just testing to see if this darn thing works
I’m a shameless conformist
Would you stand up for Phil Nevil?
Well then.
@Sam Hiser GARY Nevil?
@Sam Hiser what about Aron Neville? THEIR she is!!!
Brian – It appears as though Gravatar requires the correct spelling of last names of marginal footballers, and my research also indicates the system is NOT spell-sensitive to first names of New Orleans musicians.
Speaking only for myself, this is not, necessarily, a problem.
The only post at ROP where I can exactly see (in abundance) how the “commentators” look like.
I’m pretty gangster at ping-pong.
Ooh! Let’s get garrinching.
love it
COMMUNITY!
has it worked?

Nice!
Test
I’ve just done it – and this is the first test!
