One of thing that i like form wordpress is their comments form have avatar feature. When some body leave a comment, it will be appear avatar on their comments form. It will be great thing if it can be on blogspot comments form too. But, unfortunately blogger doesn't support it for their comments form.

What is avatar? Avatar is an image (or icon) which is unique to the person who is making the comment. When using comment avatars in your blog, you will easily be able to recognize comment authors, especially those who regularly visit your blog. Also I feel this adds a greater sense of interaction between blog authors and their readers.

But now you can install avatar in blogger comments form using MyBlogLog.
MyBlogLog is a social network for the blogger community that is based in part on interactions facilitated by a popular web widget that many members install on their blog. Bloggers can then display widgets on their sites which show MyBlogLog online community members who have recently visited their page. These widgets also contain links to visiting members' community pages, and are one way in which users connect with one another.

There are several steps if you like to install avatar in blogger comments.

  • Log in to your blogger account
  • Click Layout Tab Option on your dashboard
  • Click Layout Tab Option on your dashboard, dont forget to Check Expand Widget Templates
  • Add this script into your template code before </head>
  • <script type='text/javascript'>

    //document.write("<span id='" + myBlogSpan + "'><i>myBlogLog...</i></span>");

    if (autore != ""){
    alt="MyBlogLog: " + autore;

    myBlog = "<a target='_blank' href=\"http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/co_redir.php?href=" + autore + "\" rel='nofollow'><img src=\"http://pub.mybloglog.com/coiserv.php?href=" + autore + "\" alt=\"" + alt + "\" title=\"" + alt + "\" border=\"1\" class=\"myBlogAvatar\" width=\"50px\" height=\"50px\"></a>";

  • Search this code in your template code.
    <b:loop values='data:post.comments' var='comment'>
    And then add this code right after that ones.
    <div style='border:0;float:left;margin: 0 5px 0 0;'>
    <script>
    myBlogAvatar('<data:comment.id/>','<data:comment.authorUrl/>');
    </script>
    </div>
  • Save your template
There are something that we should to know when we have install MyBlogLog avatar in our comments form.
  1. MyBlogLog avatars are linked to the URL of your blog. So we must change comment setting. We would need to change our settings for comments, and enable "anyone" to comment, rather than only registered users.
    Comments Setting
  2. To avoid double image between MyBlogLog avatar and Blogger profile image, we should make disable "profile images on comments" in our comments setting.

  3. If you are not a MyBlogLog member, you should register your blog first in MyBlogLog. Click this link to get it......MyBlogLog

I have this hack already installed into my blog template and I want to remove it. I planned to just find the codes above and just delete it, but the second code appears more than once and when I tried to delete both it just messed it up. I really really need help on removing this correctly, thanks.
