Adding Avatars

If you like my little panda on the comments, you can have your own avatar. The process is done through a third-party site: http://en.gravatar.com/

Gravatar = globally recognized avatar. This means that if you ever post on other blogs, the same avatar will follow you across the web (so be careful when choosing your icon).

If this whole thing scares you, you can keep the default avatars that come with your posts. These are mathematically generated avatars that are distinct for every user (and no I cannot control the look of your generated avatar, it is randomly generated).  I can however, change the type of random generation.  Right now we have those little shape-faces, but I can change them to monster faces, or random patterns that kind of look like wallpaper patterns in miniature.   Which would you prefer?
