More and more I’ve noticed gravatars appearing in blog comments. I thought they were a neat idea, but not enough to warrant installing an additional plugin to add the functionality here. Well, today I learned the ability to display gravatars has been built-in since WordPress 2.5. The option to enable them was hiding waaaay at the bottom of a settings page, below a couple of large entry fields, so I never noticed it before.
Silly me.
It seems an image size of 80×80 pixels is optimal for upload… anything much larger or smaller doesn’t fare well after being resized by Gravatar.
