Get your own custom icon for comments on this blog

The icons (AKA avatars) that appear next to your name in the comments on this blog and many others is controlled by a company called Gravatar. If you sign up on their site, you can choose your own icon and the information that appears when you comment here and anywhere else using Gravatars.

Note: Even if you don’t make an account, my site is set up to assign you a randomly-patterned icon each time you comment.
