 * I’ve seen on several blogs gravatars with drop shadow etc……Can someone give me
   an example on how to accomplish this? Thanks.

 * Here’s the code I used in my CSS for the drop shadow effect – you’ll have to 
   make your own graphic for whatever size gravatars you use. Hope this helps.
 * `.grav
    { margin: -5px 3px 0px -5px; float: left; width: 90px; height: 90px; 
   padding: 7px !important; border: 0 !important; background: transparent url(/images/
   grav.png) 10px 10px no-repeat; } .grav img { width: 80px; height: 80px; padding:
   0 !important; border: 2px solid #FFF !important; }

 * I just add this to the css and its good to go? Do I need to add anything to the
   comment section where I placed the gravatar?

 * You need to set the code to put the gravatar in your comments – with a ‘<div 
   class=”grav”>` in the comments.php.
