        Brad,

        I am not sure what you mean by the above comments. I have NEVER submitted this comment to gravator.com In fact, right after seeing, I visited gravatar.com website. But there was nothing. Mayvbe could you elaborate on what you just said?

        Thanks

        1. Hi Toda. Didn’t mean that. What i meant was, i’ll write the tutorial if you sign up for a Gravatar so your avatar image next to your comments contains a headshot rather than a default image of the Gravatar logo.
