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
Every day it’s better 😀 Good Job guys!
Thanks. They look great!
wordpress is workexpress 🙂 we like it. thkz.
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. 😀
Thank you!
This is great …. Love what you guys have done. Though I wish you guys would change the default Icon.
Very cool. Thank you!

: I’m workin’ on that one. 😉
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?
Thanks a lot. A great feature.

: 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.
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.
Great! a lovely feature. Thanks a lot:D
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.
Excellent~! Thank you sooo much for this additional service. Now all we need are surveys. Heheheh~! Cheers!
Nice work.
Brilliant. I am happy to have this new feature without plug-in.
Many thanks for the effort.
GREAT!!
Very nice, Excellent work WordPress!! ~*~
awesomeness ^^ XD XD XD yay
thanks :)!
Nice lil feature. Cool and tnx.
I’ll give it a try!
Will be any help for knowing its use?
Nice.
This is really Kaizen…
Constant and continuos improvement…

Cool
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?
thanks for the avatars!
wordpress really rocks!
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.
Nice new feature, thanks for it…
Thanks a lot! Congratulations for this good job!
It adds life to my comment sections. It looks cool to any themes. Thanks for this feature.
Really nice feature. you guys rock’s
I like avuee’s idea.
Thanks!!!
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? 🙂

Outstanding
Good job, I was expecting that but not so soon. You guys are really doing something cool.
Nice!
Could you make them be the same size in all the themes? They’re way too small in Light!!
Thanks for this.
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”
fascinating, splendid, well job. thanks wp. 🙂
Noticed I was avatar’ed earlier with my site comments. I really like this feature. Thanks for always adding new stuff!
Almost everything I do on the web allows me to use my avatar. I was really happy to see wordpress offer this feature.
My avatar seems to work only when I’m signed in.
Bryan, looking good. Whatever happened with my suggestion to make the Dashboard into a menu so you can access everything with one click?
Make our avatars FAVICONS!
aishel
: It’s still here. Just need to sit down and stare at it for awhile. 😉
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
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
[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.
[Matt/Bryan] One more thing, is there a way I can delete my comments from other’s blog? (as in blogger)
@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
Pavan:
Yep, please send any display errors you see to feedback so I can keep track of them.
WordPress… the best!!
Happy camper here. Thank you!
Belo trabalho 🙂
well, i do not think that they’re showing on my blog
Nice feature.
Good work Bryan!
😎
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?
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?
hummmmmmmmmmmmmm
I love this idea!!!
great!!!
I love you … WP stat!
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!
Good! Thanx a ton Guyz!
Umm…How can I see’em now?
The lack of transparency is bothersome.
Wreaks havoc on my avatar
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
Good work-thanks 🙂
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 :).
excellent
Oh, avatared the comments in the blogs.
That just hit me this morning.
*facepalms*

“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.”
I agree 😀
My avatar comes up so teeny tiny when I post a comment on a blog…
can’t even tell what it is.
Nice work Bryan 😉
it’d be nice to add an avatar pic onto the sidebar with an easy widget.
otherwise 🙂 nice work guys
good….
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?
Thank you so much!
If you’re not seeing the avatars show up, or if they look funny, you may need to force refresh your blog.
CAYOOOOO
Now ai have avatar .
Thank’s
cool Thank you! 😆
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…
Nice one guys, you rock!
They don’t seem to work with the theme I have? Or is it just me?
I’ve yet to see any avatars on my site, which is the Sandbox theme with custom CSS applied.
Oh well. 🙂
This is cool. Thanks!
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I LOVE IT
Excellent! Thanks a ton you guys
Lovin the avatars, guys. Very good job!! 🙂
