If you use LinkedIn to sign in, you will find it works just the same way as Google or Facebook; comments you post will be accompanied by a link to your LinkedIn profile.

For speed and your privacy, photographs are cached locally, and take up to 24 hours to update. Update them simply by logging off and on again.
