A Gravatar is a "globally recognized avatar" stored by Gravatar.com[1] and automatically associated with your email address by blogs and web forums through special software some sites use.[2]
Having a Gravatar can save you a lot of time and trouble decoratively identifying your posts on blogs and other sites. It can also be an important part of "brand you", helping people to instantly spot your online identity across different forums and sites. These steps will get you set up with a Gravatar of your own.
