Adding a Gravatar to your wordpress theme makes it a little more personal. For those of you who don’t know whats a Gravatar

By signing up to Gravatar you can apply an image to an email, so whenever you comment on a blog post, thread or even create your own blog post a image can be assigned to your comments.

This simple code below allows you to add the authors Gravatar in the blog post they create adding personal touch.


<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), ‘120′ ); ?>

By adding this code it grabs the avatar assigned to the email and then specifics the size of the image.
