\n$avatar = get_avatar( $id, 32 );<\/code>
\nAnd replace with:
\n$avatar = get_avatar( $id, 32, 'wavatar' );<\/code><\/p>\n
\n<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 50 ); ?><\/code>
\nAnd replace with:
\n<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 50, 'wavatar' ); ?><\/code>
\nNow, when people leave comments, I get a visual representation, not just the bland, grey, formless icon that the system generates by default.<\/p>\n
