I have added a little feature to my blog. I recently signed up for MyBlogLog and love it. I get to see and possibly chat with people who come and enjoy my blog. The avatars from MyBlogLog give my site much more of a community feeling. I then saw on John Chow’s blog that he had also signed up for MyBlogLog, but found an awesome little plugin for Wordpress to make MyBlogLog even more useful. MyAvatars is a Wordpress plugin that puts people’s MyBlogLog avatar in every comment they post to.

The myavatars.zip file is the first thing you need to download. Upload that file into your Wordpress plugins folder like usual, and then activate the plugin. You will then need to put this piece of code into your comments.php file:

<?php if(function_exists("MyAvatars")) MyAvatars(); ?>

Similar to John Chow, I put the code directly above <?php comment_text() ?> in my file. Something weird happened though, two different results came about from putting that piece of code there. For John Chow, the avatar appears to the right of the comments, which looks good. For mine however, it appears under the number and date when people comment, which also looks good. You can put that piece of code anywhere to make it look however you want. Here is what it should look like:
