A number of you have expressed an interest in being able to have your own picture (or a picture of your own choice) show up next to your name in the comments on your blogs. By default, the avatar (that’s the proper name for those little pictures that represent you) were little cartoonish characters made of shapes.
You asked for, and now you have it! You can now include custom avatars to your blog account. Yes, you can upload a picture of yourself, or a picture of anything, by going to your Dashboard and looking in the Users > Your Profile page. Scroll down a little and you’ll see where you can upload a custom picture to replace the standard avatar. Just upload, then save, and your avatar will replace the old one.
Enjoy! And if you think of other features you’d like on your blogs, just ask and we can see what’s possible.
