That’s right dear Hello Henry reader, today you have a homework assignment. Today you are going to go to Gravatar.com and sign up for a free account. Why? You might have noticed that in the comments sections of each post on this blog, and most other blogs, a small box appears next to each comment left. The image displayed in this box will either be a boring old default image or your very own personalized gravatar. A gravatar is simply an image or avatar that is associated with your email address. So every time you leave a comment on a blog, this image will appear along with it.

How do you get a gravatar? It’s easy! Head on over to Gravatar.com, sign up and upload an image and assign it to your nominated email address. It’s that simple. Post a comment on Hello Henry and like magic, your gravatar it will appear! (well.. not quite, comments are moderated so after your comment has been approved it will appear… like magic!).

Need an image for your gravatar? Try one of these.
