I have added a new plugin to the blog software so that users can upload an avatar. (If you don’t know what an avatar is, it is a small picture that can be used to identify you).

These images can be any format, either PNG, GIF, JPG, but they should be less than 10k in size, and best pixel size is less than 100×100 px.

If you do not have an avatar in the system, it is easy to upload one, just log into the site with your details and go to your profile, near the bottom of your profile page you will see the avatar upload box, just upload your desired image. As this is a family friendly site, please keep your avatars clean, if I think any are not fit for a family site, then I will delete the avatar. When saving your image, please save it as your username, so that other avatars may not be overwritten… I have noticed that the avatars are assigned to your email address, so hopefully no avatars will be overwritten.

The avatars will appear on the comments only.

Also, if you do not yet have an avatar, then you will have the automatic mystery man icon.

Hopefully this will be used by all and increase the comments section.
