For what it’s worth, the comments portion of this journal now supports Gravatar images. Now that they’re owned by the WordPress folks, I figure performance shouldn’t be too much of an issue going forward.
What can I say? It’s an excuse to use “buddy icons” in my journal. I’m a sucker for that sort of thing.

Gravatar sounds sexy. Seriously though, what does one need to master in order to become the Gravatar?? *grins, ducks and runs for cover*
I’ve actually created a Gravatar class if you click the link in my name. Loosely coupled and works like a dream - it also has a cache with an expiration date for the avatar - to save on loading times. It can merely load the avatar in locally.

If I was going to roll my own plugin, great… but I’m not. If I do switch Gravatar plugins it’ll probably be to Shamus Young’s Wavatar rig instead.
