I was off and visiting blogs today and commenting here and there because you know I like to chat it up with fellow bloggers…. and then this happens. I leave a comment where I become a faceless snowman shaped icon. Talk about awkward. Whats up with that?
It is rare…. I pretty much have a face wherever I travel (I make it a point not to leave home without it).
So really – that is the question. Anyone know why that happens?

It must be phantom gremlins, stealing your soul.
Just kidding.
I’m tired.

Gremlins??? LOL Laura
I know that I had a face when I first started commenting on your blog. Then it disappeared for a long time. Then one day I logged back into wordpress and Voila!!!, the next time I visited you my face was back!
Its just crazy Vicki when my face is missing….. it made me feel like I didn’t know what I was doing… which is true…. but everyone doesn’t need to know 🙂
Very strange! Must be some kind of glitch.
Natalie – I have seen it happen before, I was curious if anyone knew why. I am signed up under Blogger, Google, whatever so I can have a face
A ghost in the machine?
Ahhhh….. perhaps you are right Jenners! 🙂
There are certain blogs I comment on and it seems to be random wether I have a face or not. I never do on wordpress sites but most give me some sort of icon. I think it depends on the blog, maybe.
Thanks Ryan…. that is so interesting – I had not noticed until now that you are faceless here….
I think Ryan is right, as it seems to be random and depend on the blog. I usually have my avatar show up when I comment, but some blogs have the snowman or a funny monster as my icon instead. Don’t know why, but you probably shouldn’t worry about it.
I guess so Alexis… but it was a fun conversation 🙂
If you make an account at Gravatar.com then you’ll always have a face 🙂 (as long as you comment with the same email address everywhere, that is).
Now that sounds like a commercial, doesn’t it? 🙂 However I am not affiliated with them (doh), I’m just a happy user.
Hope that helped 🙂
LOL Kay!
Hey, I think Kay has hit on it! You have to be signed up with a Gravatar…and I think the e-mail account is also the trick.
Whatever…we do prefer seeing your face, Sheila!
BTW, is this an official Pondering Moment post?
LOL Laurel! I think it is 🙂
Yes, I am signed up with Gravatar too and that seems to help!!
Thanks bookcollections – I am going to look more into that. I must have something I am missing…
Not all platforms give you your gravatar-I have never figured out why.
I think that may be right Esme as in most cases I have a face…
I don’t have an image when I blog. Partly because I haven’t bothered and partly because I’m not computer savvy enough to do it. I’ve decided the computer does what it wants and I’m along for the ride.
That works too Pat!
Reading everyone’s comments, it sounds like a glitch. Blogger has them all the time.
Thanks J Kaye. 🙂
I have noticed that on some blogs I loss myself too. I think it is the programming they are using. I have not really looked into it to much. Hope you find your head soon. lol.
Me too Melissa… me too… LOL
