In March, I moved this blog from Blogger where it had been for over three years.  The new home is a self-hosted WordPress site.  I have a hosting package on HostGator where this blog and my personal Webpage now reside.  The move to HostGator was an excellent move for me.  It costs less that what I had been paying and technical support is located in the USA. 😀

I miss Google Friend Connect.  I can continue to follow you that way, but you cannot reciprocate.  I also feel bad that when you leave a comment it doesn’t show your Blogger profile photo with your comment.  Instead, you’ll be arbitrarily assigned an icon.  Do you dislike that too?  Would you like to have a personal image appear when you leave a comment on WordPress blogs?  Here’s how.

You’ll need to setup a Gravatar.  It’s easy and it’s free.  Just visit their Website. There is a short video on the home page that explains what Gravatar is all about.  Take a moment to watch that.

Next, enter your e-mail address in the place provided and then click “Get Your Gravatar.”  A link will be sent to your e-mail inbox.

When you receive the e-mail, click on the link provided.  This will take you to Gravatar, where you will complete your account setup.  You will be asked to provide a username and password.  When that step is completed, you can manage your account.

You’ll want to upload an image to your profile.  You’ll see that image the next time you leave a comment on a blog that supports Gravatar.  This one does.

I hope to see you on my comments page.  Have a good week. :yea:
