Been thinking about getting an Avatar.
When I click through from AB, it takes me to WordPress.com
Will I end up being bombarded with loads of crappy emails if I sign up?
How much information will they want? I’m happy to give my email address, but not much more than that.
Why can’t we just use a picture without having to sign up?
Thanks.

It looks like you can sign up from wordpress if you have an account with them but I'm fairly sure that's just an option. Go sign up with gravitar directly.

From AB FAQs:
Please see the below article for information on how to upload an avatar:
http:// www.the answerb ank.co. uk/AB-E ditors- Blog/ar ticle/w hat-is- an-avat ar/
which takes me to this
Gravatar is the service that The AnswerBank uses to display avatar images across the site. You need to sign up to Gravatar (found here http:// en.grav atar.co m/site/ signup/ ) with the SAME email address that you signed up to The AnswerBank with and have just found from your profile page.
clicking the link gives me
Sign in to Gravatar with WordPress.com Connect
Gravatar now allows you to use a WordPress.com account to sign in. If you have a WordPress.com account already then you can use that, or you can create a new one.

I don't see any reason to have a single avatar over multiple sites anyway. Just forces folk to keep on opening up more e-mail addresses. Daft idea. Ok as an option maybe.
But we're stuck with it. Gravatar hasn't been an e-mail botherer so far, one assumes now they let WordPress do their webpages, and tell everyone that they are signing up with WordPress, that this hands off approach will continue the same.
