Alicia Lyttle & Lorette Lyttle of Monetized Marketing - Adding Your Gravatar

This is not necessarily a WordPress tip…but, it’s a good tip to know that relates to blogs

Have you ever wondered how people comment on blogs and have their picture show up next to the comments?

This goes along with the whole social media craze, of networking and relationship building, and this will only help with your relationship building.So this is how to create a Gravatar that will travel along with your email address everywhere you post something online with that email address.
