ABSTRACT:
Rendering a contributor representation, such as an avatar, near content such as a comment, contributed to a web page such as a blog. The contributor representation is associated with a contributor identifier, such as an email address, and stored at a centralized registrar. The centralized registrar provides a content service with an initial script to include in the web page along with the contributor identifier. A requesting client runs the initial script, which requests an additional script from the centralized registrar. The additional script can track user actions and analyzes the DOM of the web page for an attribute associated with the contributor identifier and contributed content. Based on a location of the attribute in the DOM, the additional script also determines a location in the web page to insert the contributor representation. The additional script then requests and inserts the contributor representation to be rendered near the contributed content.
