The extension I’m focusing on this week is Gravatar. A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog (or wiki) appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. This is beneficial in MindTouch Deki as it helps with the community aspect of Deki by including personalized images of the users which can be put on the User Page as an example.

Before installing the extension, signup for an account at Gravatar.

Next install the extension.

Once this is done paste the following code into a Deki page which will show the gravatar of the logged in user:

    {{ gravatar(user.emailhash) }}

This shows my Gravatar:

To see more examples of Gravatar implementation look at the following:
