Gravatar's not showing up?
December 18, 2006
I had been wondering why my Gravatar images haven't been showing up for a while in the comments on my blog. I had thought that it was because Gravatar is moving servers - their homepage currently says:
In order to handle the rapidly increasing load, I've had to experiment with a variety of server architectures. I ask for your patience during the coming weeks as I test out a few setups. The new and improved, vastly more scalable solution, will serve gravatars expediently and reliably.
But when I was over at Jon Hicks blog today, I noticed that his gravatars were working fine.
The problem was that my Hash had uppercase characters in it (this is because I'm using ColdFusion and its Hash function returns upper case Hex characters. The new gravatar requires a lowercase hash code.
It's a pretty simple fix, just wrap the Hash call with LCase()
LCase(Hash(comment.email))

Another thing about gravatarsis that the e-mail is case-sensitive. Right?

I've been trying to add Gravatars to my site and it's just not working. No matter what I do, I get the "No picture" image, even though the hash is the same. It doesn't even work when I use Gravatar's own checking tool.
I'm starting to wonder what all the fuss is about

My gravatar is showing up on comments and in my profile but it does not show up in the widget on my site called 'Authors'. Any Help?
Also, when I tried using my e-mail it kept coming up with
'Sorry I am getting a lot of blog spam from your email domain so your comment has been blocked, please go back and use a different email or omit it.'
