@Ahmed,
Tell me your blog address.. or email me.
Hello Mike!
I arrived here searching for this hack.
I also tried and didn't worked for me too.
my blog url is: http://sujanacharya.blogspot.com/
I am using 3 column denim template, heavily customized though.
Can it be fixed ?
Thanks !
@Sujan Sharma,
Ya, it didn't come up! are you sure you've enabled profile images in Settings | Comments.
for further assistance, you can email me your template.
Mike!
Thanks for quick response. Yes, I have enabled that settings.
Actually, I found another little long code, which worked. But, as that also removed my "Author's Comment" settings (highlighting of Author comment)I reverted back.
@Sujan Sharma,
You welcome.. I believe you can maintain the author's comment highlighting while adding the avatar feature..
hi Mike
you can update the tuto because it didn't work with all blogger templates for instance mine: i had to add .avatar-image-container img in the CSS but other templates even if my tip that i did it couldn't work so the solution up to now here :

@الطالب,
Thanks buddy.. but CSS on leblogger.com is supposed to customize the avatar but not necessary for it work.
He tries to put a background image behind the avatar in case the commenter was not using a Blogger account as it would show a transparent 1x1 gif image.
Still, It is worth mentioning that Blogger CSS files defines the Style for the avatar by selector like this [#comments-block .avatar-image-container img] which will not apply on the avatar unless the comments container (dl or ol element) had the id="comments-block" !
So, you need to look for <ol class="commentlist"> and replace with <ol class="commentlist" id="comments-block">.
For bloggerbuster.com, I guess you mean this link: http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2009/09/profile-avatars-for-blogger-comments.html
i did try what u ve said but it didnt work with my blog!
@الطالب,
for further assistance email me..!
oh damn, it have been almost 10 days my avatar is only showing, the blogger team really took too much time to solve this ....
@Soufiane,
ya, sometimes the new feature of commenter avatar doesn't work!
Hello Mike,
I've been looking all over the internet for instructions to do this- tried quite a few and still no avatars. This and one other hack is driving me crazy! I have a real blog and a test blog- my real blog was created first and I have hacked the heck out of it, trying most things out on my test blog first. I've been successful getting the avatars working on my test blog, but not my real blog- they are almost identical. I'll email you.
@Tessa,
Ok, that would be better :)
Hello Mike.. very nice to know that you are a quiet friendly responding all commentator.
But, the point is.. :p i've been trying fixing my layout (even with step-by step solution) to show the avatar up... but just doesn't work... Any suggestion...?
I know that my template all fully customized since over 2 years... so, i'm messed.. :)
Thanks.
@Firdaus,
You can attach your template in a new email for me..
