Got G-rated
Weblog (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 22:37:41

Every gravatar [1] submission is rated with an MPAA style rating [2] before it is made publicly available. This allows implementors to decide on the rating level that is suitable for their site. A "G" rated gravatar is suitable for display on all websites with any audience type. Nothing potentially offensive will be given this rating.

I need to add a gravatar plug-in in this blog I guess. ;)

Update: As this blog runs still b2/cafelog/urs-häck, I will not be able to simply add-on those wordpress plug-ins. But worth mentioning anyway [3,4].

That was fast...

Indeed ;) The implementation is based on the official docs at gravatar.com and a code snipplet from clagnut.com. Acutally the getimagesize() function does not really work for remote pictures. If You like to get the size of a remote picture have a look at Image_Remote in PEAR.

Instead of checking if a gravatar exists one can add a default image; that was my workaround.
