For no apparent reason… I decided to add Gravatars to the site today! Finally you can set an avatar that will appear next to your comments.

Not that you have to make one… you can always just keep the wacky default avatar I put in!

But yeah, I guess Gravatar has pretty much become the standard in WordPress avatars now… so if you setup a quick account with them and add an avatar, that avatar will carry over to other WordPress blogs that use avatars. So hey, why not, right?

And also, while you’re at it… it never hurts to register with the Halolz site itself. Besides storing all your user info for commenting, there are some other features I’ll be adding to the site soon that may require registration. May as well get all the busy work done now!

Edit: I forgot to mention, after setting up your avatar it takes like 15 minutes before your avatar actually starts to appear. I have no idea why!

Wow, I can’t believe I forgot to mention this… but the incredibly awesome Halolz posters are now up for preorder!

In case you forgot from my earlier NYCC post, here are some bulletpoints outlining it’s awesomeness:

• 16″ x 20″
• Insanely high quality (seriously, I wish there was same way I could describe how amazing the paper/print quality is)
• Features some of the best submissions we’ve gotten since the site started
• Putting it on your wall makes you instantly win the internets

Halolz Poster
And hey, while you’re over at Shark Robot buying the poster, you may as well check out some of my shirt designs which are up for preorder over there as well! You know… combined shipping and so forth… good way to save money if you plan on wearing an awesome shirt while hanging your awesome poster.

Yes I know, I’ve used the word “awesome” too much in this post. I apologize.

You might have seen this video by Interrobang floating around “the internets” recently. Ever wonder what Halo would be like if it were made by other companies? Get ready to find out!
