A few quick avatar updates.
I added avatars to the main WP.com blog, so you can see who’s writing all this nonsense.
There are now avatars on tag pages for people who have them. If you have an avatar you will now probably get more traffic from tag pages, since the folks with the pictures by their titles tend to stand out a lot more.
You probably noticed there are avatars on the front page too, itty-bitty ones by the top posts. We’re making this a bit bigger in the next day or two, we’re not happy with the design yet.
Finally we put a little reminder in the dashboard on where and how to upload an avatar if you haven’t yet. We already have avatars in comments and on the forums, and it’s been so nice to put a face with a name and comment, it really humanizes the medium.
Nice.. I love avatars..!!!
Wordpress Rocks..!!
Thanks man! The WordPress people rock !
Yay!
Any possibility that Avatars could be used on the main blog page?
Thanks for all the hard work you all do to keep blogging human. Its refreshing. I was wondering if you could maybe do an avatar widget, just so we can show off our pretty faces on our blogs… that is, if we have pretty faces to show off.
Thanks again.

Unless your avatar isn’t a human.
Axe likes pics,even if they are itty-bitty.:)
It will be fun to have, “turn off” or “dont show” avatar, so people with extra slow dialup connection dont get depressed.
nice to see!
😎
woohoo, avatars!
thanks Matt!
Cool…thanks a lot! 🙂
Great!
Gloooooorious!
Dude this is totally nice, I have been getting more readers i think in part because of my avatara.
Cool to know that. The constant tweaks and improvements are making me upload my own avatar (As you can see, I haven’t done so yet).
Nice!
ps.. first! lol.
Cool! Looks like I better find a good picture to use as my avatar.
Humanizing, indeed. 😉
Wow, Matt! Great to see you!
Thanks, WordPress!
Its nice Matt! 😉
Very slick! Thank you Matt.
Visual touches like this help me parse info faster.
It makes everything more personal and, indeed, humanizes the medium. (Humanizes is a great word!!!)
Greetings from Holland.
Good job!
Just wanted to show off my new avatar! Wheeee!
Excellent!

My seven year old niece is totally crushing on you…
Nice one guys. Highly aprreciated. 😀
oops loaded mine the wrong way round! How do I turn it round?
Lots of love from silly me.
Don’t know if this is possible or has been said before, but how about using avatars as our blog’s favicons?
Wooo!
Sweeeeeeeeeet!
a ja pozdrawiam po polsku! 🙂
keep it up.
Cheers =]
Thanks for all the hard work.

Matt, you are too cute with your happy face, I love it 😉 I sincerely love to keep checking out what y’all are up to and how this thing just keeps getting better! The avatars rock and I totally agree that it makes it so much more personal, as we get to see how we choose to represent ourselves 🙂 Thank you
Whee! Any plans to allow animated/gif avatars in the future? That would be even better. ^_^
awesome stuff :p
Thanks Matt
Nice and smooth! 😉
Nice and smooth!
That’s great ’cause I want to show everyone I can float in the bath
thanks again
this is great… looks like i have to setup my avtar soon
Thanks a lot.. wp
Nice to see who is typing all this up for us!
What If Im too good lookin’ to be represented by an avatar …
Thanks!!!
…
sry, i dont get it.. how can i use an avatar for my posts in my blog?
Great idea! This is another wonderful feature that I shall be using!
excellent! this place is wicked!
Nice idea!!!!Thanks!
Matt, I could just pinch your rosy cheeks.
love avatars, love this place.
this is nice…but it is very small )=
seems silly to say “me too, I like ’em too!” after all those other posts, but…
i DO like them, Sam I am, so I’ll just go ahead and say it again even though it will truly benefit no one but me…
I like the avatars!
I wish they were a little bigger (like on LJ).
And the idea to spare slower connected folks with a way to “opt out” of seeing avatars sounds like a kindness as well…
Everywhere?
Where?
Good work.
I loooove it!
Now, i can see me
I dig 🙂
Nice… thanks.
🙂
Excellent, the secret Avatar Foundation’s plan for complete global domination is coming along quite nicely.
wordpress was nothing without avatars!! we can understand that just now coz we have them! 😉
always a good job!
Testinggg
This is pretty cool, accept for now I cant figure out how to take mine off! 🙂
thanks
Great idea and I appreciate the hard work you did to get it done, guys. Keep up the good work!

Just to checkif my avatar works…
Some nice Avatars here I think I need to improve on mine
Hey I hope you guys love my penguin
Yeah, but those of us who are using Sandbox theme don’t have them showing, whether or not we are implementing our own CSS!!
Cool, now I wish I could delete it.
Oh well!
WP.com roxx!
gracias WorPress
Are you putting Avatars next to every post in multiple user blogs? This would help a lot!!!!!!
What’s an Avatar?
😉
It is good to see who is writing what.. Good Job guys and gals.
Though I do agree with what Island in the Net asked, is it possible to get our avatars on the main Blog page? for those of us that want them there?
Just wondering …
What is the point of ‘avatars everywhere’ when on certain themes they end up so eensy-weensy that you can’t tell what they are at all?
good:)
It’s cool to be able to see who is posting comments that also has a WordPress account. Keep up the great work 🙂
Everywhere???????????????
