Everytime I post a comment on someone elses blog, I get that generic grey icon. I was always under the impression that you had to sign up or become a member of their site to use your own icon. We’ll, thats just not true.

This video is a tutorial on how to create and use your own custom avatar that you can use whenever you post a comment on someones site. Best yet, it’s EASY and its FREE. Cool Hunh?

Once you create your avatar, feel free to leave a comment below to test it out. I am going to be opening the blog for a few days to automatically allow all comments, so expect the occasional spam.

Important Note: I just noticed that the default accepted avatar on Wordpress is “G” rating.  So if you want to make sure your avatar shows up on all blogs, make sure the pic is clean, and has a G rating.  Otherwise, by default, your avatar will not show up on most Wordpress blogs.

If you have any questions, just drop a comment below and I will see what I can do to help you out.

PS. I’ll try to get back to posting vids a bit more often. I’ve been in the middle of cranking out a fairly lengthy series on Marketing in different phases of the product and industry lifecycle. Once that is a little more under control, I’ll post some more vids.
