A few people have emailed and asked about our Simpsons styled Gravatar. Well the good news is anyone can create their own Simpsonised Gravatar from a simple photo.

Wordpress now has Gravatar support built in. Greating your Simpsons gravatar. Firstly you will need to take a photo of yourself, if you have an Apple Mac with built in iSight this is ideal. Using photobooth take your photo. The image must be better than 640×480.

Head over to http://simpsonizeme.com/and upload your image. The site will ask you some questions about your age, hair etc but the process is very quick.

 

Once complete you can tweak your design and look. Once you are happy with the Simpsons version of yourself you now need to set the image as your Gravatar.

Visit gravatar.com and create an account. Note you will need to use the same email address you have used in your wordpress blog account. Follow the steps and save the image as G rated. 

It can take ten or fifteen minutes for the system to update but once it does your wordpress comments both on your site and others will have your great new gravatar. (note if you are commenting on other blogs using the gravatar system you must use the email address associated with your account on Gravatar.com

I will comment below to show it in action :
