For those not in the know, a Gravatar is an image that represents your email address which can auto-display next to comments on blog posts etc that you may make.
Well, actually, that's just an 'avatar' - what makes a Gravatar special is that the image is remotely hosted and manageable on a website - so you can login, change your image and have it automatically instantly be changed on the gajillion websites you've posted on.
In Drupal 5.x the Gravatar module works pretty easily using Drupal's user picture support; install the module, enable picture support & gravatar user permissions and off you go - if a user on your site (registered or anon, depending on the permissions you set) has a Gravatar account their picture will display next to comment posts.
Try it out - get a Gravatar and then post a comment on this blog!

I saw gravatars on many
I saw gravatars on many Drupal 5.X blogs but I was confused with Drupal 6.X. I am going to install Drupal 6 for one of my blogs but I know it is not an easy task to do. To be very true, I think it is little difficult than other application available at the moment but it is very powerful as compared to them.

@daily horoscope, why didn't you try a picture with your profile till now? I think it is a big thing to represnt ourselves graphical. On the other hand, I can see gravatar image on this blog so I hope it would be working on Drupal 6.

It is always good to have our graphical representation. I was not familiar with that but later I discovered it and created an account. I am surprised to see that it put my image everywhere where I left the comment in past. This is really a cool thing.
