Avatar’ed Themes
As an update to Matt’s prior avatar introduction announcement, I’ve now put avatars into all of the themes.
Remember, if you run into any problems with the new avatars or if there are any places where we happened to miss placing them, don’t hesitate to let us know. But for now, enjoy them!

Great Job,
I like them a lot
September 4th, 2006 at 1:10 am
Every day it’s better
Good Job guys!
September 4th, 2006 at 2:06 am
Thanks. They look great!

wordpress is workexpress
we like it. thkz.
September 4th, 2006 at 2:30 am
you know what would be cool? if we can tag other wp users as friends and show there pictures when we link them in our wp sites.
September 4th, 2006 at 2:45 am
Thank you!
September 4th, 2006 at 2:48 am
This is great …. Love what you guys have done. Though I wish you guys would change the default Icon.
September 4th, 2006 at 2:57 am
Very cool. Thank you!
September 4th, 2006 at 3:03 am
bluesaze: I’m workin’ on that one.
September 4th, 2006 at 3:10 am
Love ‘em!
Thanks very much!

Could the avatar feature work for non-wordpress bloggers? I mean, if someone lets say from I don’t know,…um 9rules.com responds to an entry of mine, could they have their own gravatar that would appear on my site? Or is this feature only working wordpress to wordpress users?
September 4th, 2006 at 3:14 am
Thanks a lot. A great feature.
September 4th, 2006 at 3:21 am
avuee: Unfortunately, the current avatar system is strapped to your WordPress.com account. I could see some type of gravatar/wpavatar hybrid going on, but I wouldn’t know where to start with that. For now, in order to get an avatar to show, they must have an account here at WP.com.
September 4th, 2006 at 3:47 am
Hey cool … You guys respond really fast … I like avuee’s Idea … When you guys released Avatars I had intitially suggested using Gavtars. But Like Matt pointed out it might be taking to much resources from a free service. A hybrid system where the wordpress avatars are shown by default or else gavtars would been show seems like a good idea.
September 4th, 2006 at 4:04 am
Great! a lovely feature. Thanks a lot:D
September 4th, 2006 at 4:06 am
I love how you guys are turning WP into more of a communal blogging service. I think you should add a blog-subscriber sort of thing. Something like the Tag Surfer, but rather than subscribing to tags, you subscribe to other WP.com blogs.
September 4th, 2006 at 5:04 am
Excellent~! Thank you sooo much for this additional service. Now all we need are surveys. Heheheh~! Cheers!
September 4th, 2006 at 5:06 am
Nice work.
September 4th, 2006 at 5:10 am
Brilliant. I am happy to have this new feature without plug-in.
Many thanks for the effort.
September 4th, 2006 at 6:30 am
GREAT!!
September 4th, 2006 at 6:33 am
Very nice, Excellent work WordPress!! ~*~
September 4th, 2006 at 6:35 am
awesomeness ^^ XD XD XD yay
September 4th, 2006 at 7:09 am
thanks

September 4th, 2006 at 7:34 am
Nice lil feature. Cool and tnx.
September 4th, 2006 at 8:39 am
I’ll give it a try!
September 4th, 2006 at 8:51 am
Will be any help for knowing its use?
September 4th, 2006 at 9:42 am
Nice.
September 4th, 2006 at 10:50 am
This is really Kaizen…
Constant and continuos improvement…

Cool
September 4th, 2006 at 11:18 am
If I get that avatar’ed themes post right, avatars should be showing alongside comments. Well, in my blog at least, they don’t. Am I missing something here?
September 4th, 2006 at 11:41 am
thanks for the avatars!
wordpress really rocks!
September 4th, 2006 at 11:42 am
Pleasantly surprised. Thank you sweetheart, I love being able to show a sloth face to anyone and everyone. I mean look at it now, it’s cheering you up isn’t it. M hm.
September 4th, 2006 at 1:29 pm
Nice new feature, thanks for it…
September 4th, 2006 at 1:31 pm
Thanks a lot! Congratulations for this good job!
September 4th, 2006 at 1:42 pm
It adds life to my comment sections. It looks cool to any themes. Thanks for this feature.
September 4th, 2006 at 1:58 pm
Really nice feature. you guys rock’s
September 4th, 2006 at 2:05 pm
I like avuee’s idea.
September 4th, 2006 at 2:14 pm
Thanks!!!
September 4th, 2006 at 2:23 pm
Like bizwriter, the effect of including avatars in themes has not
“dawned” on me yet but probably it will come to me evenutally. We
can still show our avatar, wherever it may pop up, if we have one
so it is nice that the application is expanding. Like my head?

September 4th, 2006 at 2:37 pm
Outstanding
September 4th, 2006 at 2:40 pm
Good job, I was expecting that but not so soon. You guys are really doing something cool.
September 4th, 2006 at 2:40 pm
Nice!
Could you make them be the same size in all the themes? They’re way too small in Light!!
Thanks for this.
September 4th, 2006 at 2:54 pm
hi thanks wordpress for all those wonderful touch.
just one thing though, i’m currently using Connections theme but i don’t really understand what you meant by “putting avatars into all of the themes”
September 4th, 2006 at 3:24 pm
fascinating, splendid, well job. thanks wp.
September 4th, 2006 at 3:37 pm
Noticed I was avatar’ed earlier with my site comments. I really like this feature. Thanks for always adding new stuff!
September 4th, 2006 at 4:47 pm
Almost everything I do on the web allows me to use my avatar. I was really happy to see wordpress offer this feature.
September 4th, 2006 at 5:08 pm
My avatar seems to work only when I’m signed in.
September 4th, 2006 at 5:23 pm
Bryan, looking good. Whatever happened with my suggestion to make the Dashboard into a menu so you can access everything with one click?
September 4th, 2006 at 6:10 pm
Make our avatars FAVICONS!
September 4th, 2006 at 6:13 pm
aishel: It’s still here. Just need to sit down and stare at it for awhile.
September 4th, 2006 at 6:14 pm
Just to see how it looks…
And I share oinky’s question: I don’t really understand what you meant by “putting avatars into all of the themes”
IOW, where do they appear?
Ignorant Flux
September 4th, 2006 at 6:44 pm
weird, i can see my avatar in every comment that i leave around wordpress. but when i comment on my blog i can’t see my avatar!!! using regulus theme
September 4th, 2006 at 7:35 pm
[Matt/Bryan]: The avatar pics arent placed properly when viewed in Opera (in Linux). The pic overlaps the name and date of comment. Just thought of letting you know.
September 4th, 2006 at 7:37 pm
[Matt/Bryan] One more thing, is there a way I can delete my comments from other’s blog? (as in blogger)
September 4th, 2006 at 7:38 pm
@Bryan
I’ve been working the forum and haven’t had the time to check out the avatar feature on my own blogs yet. There is however a forum thread that I want to draw your attention to please take note of the second to last entry http://wordpress.com/forums/topic.php?id=3728
September 4th, 2006 at 8:02 pm
Pavan: Yep, please send any display errors you see to feedback so I can keep track of them.
September 4th, 2006 at 9:12 pm
WordPress… the best!!
September 4th, 2006 at 10:09 pm
Happy camper here. Thank you!
September 4th, 2006 at 10:29 pm
Belo trabalho
September 4th, 2006 at 10:37 pm
well, i do not think that they’re showing on my blog
September 5th, 2006 at 12:39 am
Nice feature.
Good work Bryan!
September 5th, 2006 at 1:30 am
Great idea and well worth the effort. Thank you Bryan.
May be worth checking its effectiveness in Quentin 0.9. It seems very small. Would it be possible to change the logo on Firefox tabs to the individual’s avatar?
September 5th, 2006 at 1:53 am
I’m using the Sandbox theme with custom CSS, and I’m not seeing any avatars in the comment area. Is this just a problem with Sandbox?
September 5th, 2006 at 3:00 am
hummmmmmmmmmmmmm
I love this idea!!!
great!!!
I love you … WP stat!
September 5th, 2006 at 5:01 am
I’m a happy camper. One of the best things about wordpress is the amazing blogging community that’s being built here and features like this are adding to the appreciation of the community experience. Thumbs up Bryan and sysadmin – you rock!
September 5th, 2006 at 7:05 am
Good! Thanx a ton Guyz!
Umm…How can I see’em now?
September 5th, 2006 at 7:24 am
The lack of transparency is bothersome.
Wreaks havoc on my avatar :/
September 5th, 2006 at 8:29 am
Ok, so about the comment that I actually meant to make here:
I might be missing something, but:
Where?
I’ve gone though and clicked on the links of a bunch of commenters here and gotten a pretty decently sized sampling of different themes, and I’ve not seen any avatars that I see here…
I feel silly for asking this, but… well, maybe I should just wait until tomorrow. I have no idea what propagation is like here. Considering it’s only been an hour…
Yeah
September 5th, 2006 at 10:40 am
Good work-thanks
September 5th, 2006 at 1:40 pm
I haven’t ventured into different themes to actually check this out. But, I trust you guys! This is good, now if we can all get more themes to play with, that’ll be great. Will keep blogging … afterall, a blog is something written by someone who has nothing to say for someone who has nothing to do
.
September 5th, 2006 at 1:53 pm
excellent
September 5th, 2006 at 5:11 pm
Oh, avatared the comments in the blogs.
That just hit me this morning.
*facepalms*

I agree
September 6th, 2006 at 2:16 am
My avatar comes up so teeny tiny when I post a comment on a blog…
can’t even tell what it is.
September 6th, 2006 at 5:11 am
Nice work Bryan
September 6th, 2006 at 9:18 am
it’d be nice to add an avatar pic onto the sidebar with an easy widget.
nice work guys
otherwise
September 6th, 2006 at 12:15 pm
good….
September 6th, 2006 at 12:45 pm
OK, so some folks like, even love avatars. I hate ‘em
People who don’t have one have a big stupid looking question mark and I have to put up with a guy giving the finger on all of the comments on my blog. Not the image I was looking for. Any way to turn them off? Or maybe reinstate some themes that don’t have them?
September 6th, 2006 at 4:06 pm
Thank you so much!
September 6th, 2006 at 11:37 pm
If you’re not seeing the avatars show up, or if they look funny, you may need to force refresh your blog.
September 7th, 2006 at 12:38 am
CAYOOOOO
September 7th, 2006 at 4:51 am
Now ai have avatar .
Thank’s
September 7th, 2006 at 8:14 am
cool Thank you!
September 7th, 2006 at 1:37 pm
On my Screen the Avatars are some sort of mixed up with the text written by someone… I mean: The Pictures are in the middle of the post and not where they supposed to be (left of the text I assume?)
Anyway, I nice Idea which gives the Blogs and Comments some sort of character…
September 8th, 2006 at 12:13 am
Nice one guys, you rock!
September 8th, 2006 at 5:37 pm
They don’t seem to work with the theme I have? Or is it just me?
September 9th, 2006 at 12:43 am
I’ve yet to see any avatars on my site, which is the Sandbox theme with custom CSS applied.
Oh well.
September 9th, 2006 at 4:19 am
This is cool. Thanks!
September 9th, 2006 at 6:16 pm
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I LOVE IT
September 9th, 2006 at 8:13 pm
Excellent! Thanks a ton you guys
December 9th, 2006 at 8:21 am
Lovin the avatars, guys. Very good job!!
