For those of you who have not yet heard of Incarnate it is a service, built by the Mix Online team, to make managing avatars easy. Incarnate searches the web to find and reuse your avatars, so you don't have to upload a new one everytime you join a new service or want to leave a comment. According to the Mix Online website, "Incarnate is a REST-based service that uses peoples' usernames to find their avatars on the web. To do this Incarnate queries Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Xbox Live, and Youtube."

Incarnate is a fully customizable service that will fit seamlessly into your blog, but until recently was not yet integrated with WordPress. To solve this problem, Mix Online enlisted us to help them build a WordPress plug-in. Vicky Tamaru explains the steps we took to do this, as a contibutor to the Mix Online website, in her article "A WordPress Plug-In for Incarnate."

If you like what you have heard see how easy it is to intergrate Incarnate with your blog post comments by downloading and installing the WordPress plug-in.
