Over at clagnut a nifty feature called “Gravatars” has been enabled. These are globally recognized avatars – you sign up for one for free, and any time you comment on a blog that has enabled them, your image pops up next to your comment. They have a rating system, and you can choose whether or not to allow them using the familiar movie rating codes.

my husband David might like this for his WordPress blog, I think it would be fun for mine only if I did some tweaking to have inline comments (instead of the current pop-up window) and after addressing the slow, slow updating problem.

I already know what my gravatar will be – deciding that is probably the hardest part. The next tricky bit is actually implementing it after figuring out the speed/rebuild issue.
