I've added gravatars to the comments. You can have a little icon (your gravatar) that represents you next to each comment you post. All you have to do is upload your icon at the Gravatar site and enter your email when you leave your comment. I don't display your email---it is just used to look up which gravatar to use. There is now a separate entry for email and url when you leave a comment so that you can have a gravatar as well as a link to your web page when you leave a comment.
Look at the comments to this post for an example of what it looks like.

As you can see, Scienceblogs.com has a new look. There is no more left sidebar and the right sidebar looks different, the cute banners different blogs had is replaced with a new standardized banner usually with a picture of the blogger. The 24 hour page and some other bits are (depending on when…
My gravatar is a deltoid. How original.
and mine is a passion flower, just for comparison purposes

Oh, that's what it is! I'd always wondered "Why does Tim Lambert use a picture of a G-string as his logo?"
I think this may be an object lesson in using an image which is too busy. If its not there, it hasn't be approved yet.
Gravatars are fun.
Mine is Margaret Huggins, girl astronomer and my great great great great grandmother. I get my looks from her.
Mine is an iceberg, but it may not have been approved yet.
OK, it has been approved, sorry about the wiki spam, not sure how that got in...
Mine was going to be a practical demonstration of how a deltoid can be constructed by spherical deformation of a triangle of spandex, but it apparently wasn't approved :-)
I use a nice picture I found somewhere on the 'net
Yah, nice, using gravatar
