A picture of you
While I was playing about with installing 2.5, I noticed that the comments screen shows a little picture for each person that’s commented (previous versions may have done this, but I never noticed). This little picture - called an avatar - is usually what the person has uploaded to their blog as their profile picture, but can also be a variation called a gravatar. Gravatars (or globally recognised avatars) can follow you from site to site, because they are linked to your email address.
I liked the idea of being able to display peoples gravatars on the blog, next to their comment. This required another plug-in and some hacking around with the comments.php file, but I’m happy to report that comments are now a little more graphical.
It’s a small thing, really, but it keeps me off the streets.
