Add your own Avatar to Ghacks

You might have noticed that I added so called avatars to the comments that you write. I thought it would be nice to personalize ghacks a little bit more and add avatar support. All you need to do to add your own avatar is to visit mybloglog and register for a free account there. This is not only helpful for my site but all sites that support this option. Everton from connected internet uses the same system for example.

Registration is free and simple. Add a screen name, your email and a password and you are ready to use their system. You could use one use emails to register there if you like but I don’t think this is necessary. The last thing that needs to be done is to upload an avatar to mybloglog and it will be displayed on all websites that you visit that support it. You can also add code to your own website if you have one to personalize it as well.

Please let me know if you like this new feature. I think it is great for regular visitors. So, if you do not like the dark shadowy image next to your comment join mybloglog and customize your appearance.
