Gravitars & Charts

Tonight I’ve been reviewing various Nucleus CMS (the wonderful open source content management system I use here at Frozen Truth . com) plugins that I want to implement in the new layout I’m creating for my site. I came across one for implementing Gravitar‘s globally recognized avatars and discovered that project to be, frankly, a great idea. I’ve often pondered how to implement community between outward facing sites (as opposed to inward facing sites such as Live Journal) and this project offers a way to have global avatars for all the blogs you visit (assuming we can get folks to implement this, of course). Afterall, isn’t it a fine idea to break down the anonymity of the internet here and there to explore personality? Give it a try and sign up. On the first of next month my site will start matching gravitars with the e-mail addresses you use in comments.

I’ll leave you with my weekly music charts:
