   Sweet, really glad WP.com users can now make their own Favicon’s, but I’ve moved to WordPress.org, so it doesn’t really affect me. Great idea WordPress though!

    Aah! This is really cool. Just checked a blog with blavatar! That’s really interesting.
37. worldcanwait Dec 2nd at 8:04 pm

    Unless I missed something in the video, this feature isn’t all that new. I started my blog in October & added my avatar the same day. So it’s at least a couple months old. Very easy to do though. You can use your own picture or clip art, or you can find an online avatar maker & create your own cartoon you.
• Heather Dec 3rd at 10:43 pm

  Avatars are different from Blavatars. You change your avatar under Edit Profile in the My Account menu, and this appears as your icon next to comments and in the Author widget. Blavatars are set under Settings > General and appear in your browser and in pingbacks.
38. el baloO* Dec 2nd at 8:11 pm

    That blavatar for chuck really looks like mine!!! :@
39. sabers210 Dec 2nd at 8:14 pm

    Wow great feature!
50. carpediem52 Dec 2nd at 8:51 pm

    I found out from the start, just some days after I made my blog, all by myself, is this supposed to be difficult? .. or am I special? 😛
• Heather Dec 3rd at 11:17 pm

  You likely uploaded an avatar, not a blavatar. Please see my comment above for an explanation of the differences between the two.
51. esarsea Dec 2nd at 8:54 pm

    Cool deal, I’ll give it a try.
52. sensico Dec 2nd at 9:03 pm

54. djchiclet Dec 2nd at 9:10 pm

55. Javier Aroche Dec 2nd at 9:10 pm

    Thanks for this, after years asking finally we got it ! 😀

    Just one feature request: could it work the transparency ? I tried uploading a png with alpha layer and in the final favicon got a white background 😦

    If paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beats paper, what beats all 3 at the same time? Answer: Chuck Norris. 😀

     Nicely done! This finally closes the last gap that was remaining with “blog branding”.

     We can now finally have a uniformed “set” look when people visit out sites.

     Thank you, and as usual: You guy/girls rock!!!
