Belong …
Some of you may remember that after our switch to Word Press we added Gravatars as a means of displaying an avatar next to each comment on the blog. Sadly this didn’t work out. The Gravatars slowed our page loads down to such an extent that it became unworkable. Often the images did not display at all. So we’ve added a means by which you can load you avatar to our site.
It forms part of a new section called “Belong”. Over the coming months we’ll be adding other features to it too, time allowing. So, if you want your avatar to appear next to your comments on AlexSuze, click here and register now.
If you have any problems email belong@alexsuze.com
Oooh I’ve joined can’t wait for my electric postman to bring me my mail.
Great stuff! Looking forward to see how it works out, as well as the goodies for 2007.
Yay! I belong now!
Gravatars are notorious for slowing down WordPress. Sadly there doesn’t seem to be a workaround. I’m curious if this solution will work out! I’m eager to check it out myself, but now I have to figure out if I have an avatar somewhere!

Impressive programming. This is an excellent idea.
Well, people seem to be taking it up slowly. And they seem to be working well. So far … LOL!
