After you’ve logged in you can leave a comment about most anything. My Dad said that there were three subjects that you should avoid except for your closests friends – sex, religion, and politics. Since there are more than enough sites out there for that, let’s take my Dad’s advice. He might be long gone, but the advice is still good.

You can follow the blog, individual posts and comments by subscribing to the RSS feed by clicking on the button on the page you’re interested in.

The site is Gravatar friendly. If you have one, it will automatically be pulled in for your comments. If youMy Gravatar don’t here’s some info on getting one. They’re the little pictures that represent you next to a comment on blogs.

First, what they are from Wikipedia -

On Gravatar, users can register an account based on their email address, and upload an avatar to be associated with the account. When the user posts a comment on such a blog that requires an e-mail address, the blogging software checks whether that e-mail address has an associated avatar at Gravatar. If so, the Gravatar is shown along with the comment.

A Gravatar avatar can be up to 512 pixels wide, is always square and is displayed at 80 by 80 pixels by default. If the uploaded avatar is larger or smaller, the avatar is scaled appropriately. Each Gravatar is rated with an MPAA-style age recommendation, which allows webmasters to control the content of the Gravatars displayed on their website.

To eliminate spam, e-mail addresses are hashed with the MD5 cryptographic hash function. This prevents spambots from harvesting e-mail addresses.

Here’s the address of where you upload your avatars – Gravatar.com

If you have any problems, just email me at mbohman@JohnRWood.com. I’ll help.

Have Fun – Mike
