Fresh Blender News, Every Day
Boring site update: we upgraded our WordPress installation to the latest version. If run into any weirdness (new weirdness, that is ;-) let us know!
Interesting site update: we now support Gravatars. To have your gravatar shown in your comments (see my comment below), sign up on Gravatar.com and create an account.
From Gravatar.com:
Signing up for a gravatar.com account is FREE, and all that's required is your email address. Once you've signed up you can upload your avatar image and soon after you'll start seeing it on gravatar enabled weblogs!
Gravatar.com is run by the same people who write WordPress, by the way.
Update: we accept gravatars with a rating up to 'PG':
PG rated gravatars contain may contain rude gestures, provocatively dressed individuals, the lesser swear words, or mild violence.

Lol! :D Nice feature!
Test! –> Gravatar?
Nice, now we can spam blendernation with nasty pics!
just kidding :)
Gravatars are always good.
yay
If your gravatar doesn't show, there can be two causes:
1. The gravatar.com service has a caching time of between 5 and 10 minutes. If you change your images, it can take a while before you see the change here.
2. We accept gravatars with a rating up to 'PG':
"PG rated gravatars contain may contain rude gestures, provocatively dressed individuals, the lesser swear words, or mild violence."
Cool. Just testing if it works…
gravatar test..
hope this works.. ^_^
Sweet, this looks really cool. :D
xD
This is interesting
Looks nice.
Sorry to misuse your blog for this, no need to answer, just maybe you can tell the guys
in charge of the binaries this :) butcould there be a binary blender package for glibc
2.5 or more recent?
2.3.6 is really very old, on my systems it no longer works.
(And i have trouble to compile blender from source too)
Test, test!
this is cool… this also the first new avatar i have had in 4 years
markus send an email to bf-committers at blender org
also see this http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/SundayMeetingAgenda/April_5th_2008
looks like for OpenMP you need version 2.7; maybe this will help to make the change.

Looks like http://www.blender.org is down… anyone has an idea what's wrong?
Testing
@Downtime: I'll try to gather some info on that.
I like playing around…..hope it works!
It's backup now :)
Hello world!
Test
another test
Oh…I got it.
I don't see any gravatars… apparently AdBlock eats them.
Are the php upgrades causing some issues in Amsterdam? Or are you forgetting to feed the little critters and they are not turning the wheel? Or, did you use them in Peach, and now they're "too good" to spin the wheel?
@Tony – Yeah thats me alright, but! luckily for me its an old picture =P will have to put a recent one up maybe! or i'll just replace myself with a mancandy render =P
alright lets try this thing
I want to be globally recognized!
Testing, testing…Soylent Green is people…
Is it just me, or are these gravatars already looking annoying?
Aw crap, now I lose my anonymity!!
I suggest that these avatars appear next to the nicknames here..
They are far away from posts..
Sweet.
test
this is a test and only a test. had this been the real thing you would be drooling over my gravatar right now.
one for the road
Cool, i have my avatar here too. :-)
Testing my gravatar =)
I love roofoo's gravatar!
I have to agree it's looking annoying, the avatars should be sitting closer to the name, could you move it to the left?
Also it might help to make the icons smaller but one step at a time.
@RedBirdiii, SCIBOTIC: good suggestion! I'll try that as soon as I have some time left.
w000t
Gravatar Test –>
These are pretty cool, but it would be better if they were on the left side of the text, that way it would be less distracting (like in Blender Artists with the avitars)
I updated the layout: moved the avatars to the left and made them slightly smaller. In order to not create a horrible layout, I also added a default picture for comments without a Gravatar.
You may need to shift+reload to get the new stylesheet info.
Do you think it's better this way?
This looks better Bart. :)
It's great Bart!
moocho better bart
Awesome thanks Bart. Looks really great now.
How irritating … someone on wordpress has my usual blender nickname, and my normal nickname has "-" characters in it! grr… :P
Wahey – done! Firefox was playing up on me too so I had to use konqueror! :/
Well, I'm a little late to the game here, but you know what they say…
hmmm… does my gravatar work?
drat
Sorry, testing…
