Gravatars on Fixpert Comments?

Ok, now that you guys solved the question of changing the background color on my comments after posts, I was wondering if I should also add gravatars to the comments? Do you guys have gravatars? Just curious if you use them, like ‘em, etc.

Thanks again guys!

    I use them, but most commentors on my blog do not have them; so I think not many people do.

    I have a gravatar. However, I’ve heard that gravatars are often quite slow to appear, therefore delay any unobtrusive javascript enhancements that use onLoad. Of course, if you use that magical onDOMReady library, you’re good to go. (I still have to check into that.)

    Super, thanks again Tim!!

    Hmm, I just thought, maybe I could have a CSS background image in the spot where the gravatars will load, just a generic profile head, and then for those who do have gravatars, they’ll pop into the page later as they load.
