FAQ gravatar suggestion
Greetings,
I initially read this FAQ regarding gravatars:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Where do the author's pictures come from and how do I set mine? ^
They come from the Gravatar associated with that author's cpan.org email
address. To set yours, simply sign up at http://site.gravatar.com/signup
using your cpan.org address. We cache the gravatars so give it a day or
so to catch up.
---------------------------
I interpreted "that author's cpan.org email address" as "the address of
the author listed on his/her cpan.org page". Stupid, I know - I
couldn't figure out why my gravatar wasn't showing up even though it was
linked to my cpan.org page email address (fred@redhotpenguin.com).
Schwern kindly informed me that the gravatar was associated with
'phred@cpan.org' - I looked at the faq again and realized my blunder.
Would suggest a concrete example for those who read the faq and
misinterpret it like I did. I think there is a fair amount of users who
don't have their 'user@cpan.org' address mapped in order to avoid spam...
Thanks!
- Fred
