This is a short PSA for anyone who would like to display a profile picture beside your comments.
SBC Voices, like many WordPress blogs, use the free Gravatar service. It basically connects a mugshot to your email, so when you comment on a blog people can judge you by your photo.
It’s a good idea and will make everyone a little more civil.

Testing to see if Gravatar works.
Tony, can you give a PSA telling us how to get rid of other people’s gravatar? I’m typing with svmuchy in mind.
Thanks Tony. I set this up. Dean, no making fun.
Wait… You want us to actually see someone else’s mug? That’s the whole reason Al Gore invented the internet: To be able to talk to people without looking at them. Sheesh.
There are a couple of these guys…I’ve seen their faces and maybe a gravatar isn’t such a great idea for them?
Seriously, less anonymity is generally a good thing.
I look exactly like my picture…

Tony, what did I not do right? My gravatar is not hyper linked. Maybe because I’m never hyper?
“…so when you comment on a blog people can judge you by your photo.”
I’ve had enough trouble getting my posts judged fairly, and now this????
(I actually look much much better and younger than the Gravatar pic, but, uh, er…it is the only picture of myself I have on this computer. At least you’ll know I have a beard!)
You can always use a fake photo. If that helps.

You’d better stick with you real photo.
I’ve aways been told how much I resemble Tom Selleck.
What were they trying to get from you when they told you that?
Nice to see some of you guys.
Trying to see if the gravatar is linked.
Again. I think being from Alabama is hindering me.
I’m seeing your picture, you may need to refresh your browser
Being from Alabama has not hindered you in the least, my Good Man. The fly in your proverbial ointment is the fact that you are an Auburn fan.
CB, thank you for the confirmation. I was beginning to wonder.
By the way, are you coming to my fair city, St. Louis, next month? Well, I actually live about 20 miles west of downtown. But if you are coming to the convention I would love to meet you in person.
I have not yet decided if I am going to go to the SBC this year or not. I have started a new ministry here in KY and we have a lot going on in June. However, if I do get there, I do want to catch up with you and have fellowship and hear more about your ministry in Haiti.
I’ve been through Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia this week. So I don’t know if my gravatar still works or is even still accurate….
You probably know a whole lot more about football this week if you traveled through those states.
Hadn’t updated mine in a while. Not sure this is an improvement, but it’s what I have to work with. 😀
Came to SBC Voices this morning and found my face up against a brick wall. What gives?
🙂
The revolution came?
