Gravatar Setup
March 28th, 2008 by Omi Azad
Gravatar = Globally Recognized Avatar.
To let you use your customized Avatar, we have enabled Gravatar for you. This guide will show you how to enable and use Gravatar on Gopsop.com
Go to http://gravatar.com and click on Signup link on the top right corner.
In the Email address field, put the email address you are using in Gopsop.com and click on the Signup button.
It will tell you on the next page that Confirmation email sent to the given email address and if you did not receive the mail in next 24 hours, contact with them on the given email address on that page. Check your mail. If you did not get the mail in your Inbox, then please do check Junk/Bulk/Spam folder too. This mail may get into that folder.
A mail bearing the subject “Welcome to Gravatar” will be there with an activation link. Just follow the link by clicking on the link or copy the link to your browser’s address bar and go.
You will get a form asking your Nickname and password. Use any Nickname you like to use, but you cannot use any special characters or space in that field. Only lowercase alphabets and numbers are allowed. Put any password you want to us in both password fields and click on the Signup button.
On the next page there would be a link for adding a Gravatar. Click on “Add one by clicking here!” link to add your Gravatar.
On the next page there would be some options from where you can chose your Gravatar from. You can proceed with whatever source you want to use. To show you the example I’m going with My computer’s hard drive by clicking on “My computer’s hard drive” link.
On the next page I click on Browse button and locate the Image on my Hard drive I want to use as Gravatar. Then click Next.
On the next page you can you can select the image range you want to use. Now you have to help yourself what to do and how to do. Once you select the part of the image, click on Crop button.
You will be taken to another page, here you have to rate your Gravatar. The explanation of rating is given on that page, rate your Gravatar according to that. Here I clicked on Rated G button.
Now you will be taken back to your Gravatar page. Select the image you want to use as Gravatar.
A pop up screen will ask your confirmation
Your Gravatar is selected and activated. Now come back to Gopsop site and go to settings page.
