On easy (and free) way to get people back to your own site is by visiting others. That’s right, spending time reading blog posts by other bloggers can be not only educational, but by posting comments you can show yourself to be knowledgeable. This in turn could find you with more of your own readers who are interested in what you have to say. Have you noticed on some blogs that some commenters have their photograph or an image next to their name? These are known as Avatars (not like the blue creatures on the recent film) and are quick and easy to set up. Go to the Gravatar website at: http://en.gravatar.com/

Gravatars are linked to an e-mail address. This should be the same e-mail address that you will use to post with on others blogs.

You will receive a confirmation e-mail to click on. Once you have done this, you will be able to walk through and select the photograph or image you would like to use.

Once you image is uploaded, you will then be prompted to set a rating for your Gravatar. Once done, that’s it! Next time you add a note to a blog that has the Gravatar’s activated, your image will show up next to your name and comments!
