polka dot suitcase

…just something I say to myself every morning when I look in the mirror…sigh…

Oh! I’m on. Well, hello! Let’s talk faces. Sir gets a big kick out of seeing the new little “monster face” that people get when they comment here on Polka Dot Suitcase. I keep waiting for the little tiny computer artists who live inside the network wires to run out of new combinations. There’s the square face, the triangle face, glasses, one eye bigger than the other, moustaches…Mister swears one had a cigarette hanging out of its mouth, too.

But Sir gets an even bigger kick out of personalized gravatars. So here’s the scoop on getting your own. It’s as easy as one, two, three. …uh, four, five, six:

1. Pick a graphic. Photo, art, whatever. Simpler the better, because it’ll get shrunk…shrinked…shrank…shronk…shrankled…reduced down.

2. Link your email. You’ll need to use the same email whenever you leave comments, because that’s what the pic is linked to.

3. Upload your pic. Just follow along the directions on the Gravatar site. Actually, the next steps are eerily similar: 4. Follow the directions on the Gravatar site and 5. Follow the directions on the Gravatar site.

6. Leave comments all over the blogosphere. That’s the only way to show it off, after all.

Okay, so blame this post on the Blogathon. I had to put something up. But when you get your gravatar, leave us a comment here — we wanna see your new face!
