Gravatars included in upcoming WordPress release

WordPress 2.5 which has yet to be released, will come with support for Gravatars (aka, Avatars) in the WordPress admin panel, which will also be revamped (test drive new WordPress admin panel).

Ryan Boren blogs:

…”Gravatar is the service used by default. get_avatar() is completely pluggable, however, so any service can be used. get_avatar() is built-in so that themes will have some fixed API on which they can rely, regardless of whatever avatar service is being used behind-the-scenes.” Read the full post

In this post Ronald Huereca demonstrates how Gravatars will be used with WordPress 2.5. If you are comfortable editing theme files take note of Connor Wilson’s tutorial on how to setup Gravatars on your WordPress blog without the use of a plugin.
