How to Create a Gravatar From a Picture of Your Face
Gravatar is an online service that allows you to upload an image, or "avatar", connected to your email address. On supported sites, when you blog or comment on an article or blog, your Gravatar image shows up alongside your message. This helps create an identity for yourself across multiple websites without much effort. If you wish to create a Gravatar using a photo of your face, you can upload an image or take one with your webcam.
