More and more people are using Twitter as one of their primary social media profiles, interacting with all sorts of other folks from all around the globe. How can you help to integrate that into your blog?

One element that you could introduce is Twitter Avatar Reloaded. This WordPress plugin allows you to replace the Gravatar image associated with each comment left on your blog with the Twitter profile picture that the person has uploaded to his or her Twitter account.

You have to remember that while many users have Gravatar accounts, far more have Twitter accounts. By being able to pull in their Twitter avatars, they are better able to display their personality when posting a comment on your blog. That sure beats a generic avatar.
