Hey Thanks for this! I only wish now that Blogger.com would get on the ball and allow gravatar images. At least in the meantime, I changed my FavIcon to also use my gravatar.

My gravatar is me using my fusil automatique leger.

Lord knows, when I see that picture, I know that I’ve been Teshed in an inappropriate way. Err, appropriate way.

In other news, I went out and got Death Race 2 from Redbox rental over lunch. I hear it’s pretty fun… and I had some beer left from last night…

I believe that Matticus has spoken very highly of his website host, but I can’t recall who that was exactly. You might want to shoot him an email though.

Didn’t you used to have that on my blogger website years ago? I swear I remember you linking to me your wintersaber kitty mount. Man, can you believe how long it’s been since I was on blogspot? That’s crazy.

Minor point of trivia. My Gravatar is a piece of art I made for myself on the Puzzle Pirates forums.

…it looks better over there, as it’s about 9 times bigger.

But yeah, that’s sort of become my online visual ID. Either that or my Dwarf Tinkerer sketch that I use on Facebook and a few other places. It’s interesting how small and subtle these things are, yet how much they help people make quick identification of persons online.

And violin, there it should be!

Hopping on the bandwagon. Sir Bear, multiple Internet-Bacons for you! I never knew about the gravatars either!

Thanks for the tip

I read tentblogger as a part of my daily diet of procrastination. He had a post for the 20 top blog hosting sites (in his opinion). Here it is: http://tentblogger.com/blog-hosting/

I still don’t know who I want to go with. I actually have two reasons for doing it though. First, my work needs a website, and I’m thinking that at wordpress theme, self-hosted site is the way to go at the moment. We are small, and strapped for cash.

Secondly, I want to have a personal self-hosted site as well. But, there is the catch, I would like to make a little $$$ out of it. We are trying to get out of debt, and the extra cash would come in handy for it. And, since every spare dime is going to snowball the debt we have *cough/tydaveramseycough*, I don’t have the money for the ipad that I’ve been lusting after. >.>

Oh well. We’ll see what happens.

Gah! I’m glad for the heads up. I just got my domain a few months ago, but haven’t actually put anything on the site so far. I’ll have to look around and see what I can come up with.
