I’ve received a number of emails asking me how to add an avatar pic to the comment when commenting on MakeUseOf.
See the screenshot below if you’re not sure what I mean.
So how do I get an avatar next to my comments ?
It’s very easy. Simply go to Gravatar, signup, and upload the pic that you want to use as your avatar.
Also make sure that the email address you use on your comment is the same one you use to sign up on Gravatar.
Done!
In my last article, I talked about how you can use NicEdit to add RichText WYSIWYG functionality to your blog comments. Well today I want to talk about a Wordpress plugin that I found which adds a bit of extra personalization when someone leaves a comment on one of your posts. It is called MyAvatars.
MyAvatars was designed by an Italian developer and works using Yahoo-owned MyBlogLog. It simply shows the blog commenter’s MyBlogLog (MBL) avatar next to their comment.
