Did You Know?: Displaying Comment Avatars
July 17, 2012
Commenting is one of the most important ways to connect with your audience. A great way to really personalize this connection is by enabling commenting avatars for your blog. We even do this here on this blog!
If you have enabled Typepad Connect, you simply go to Settings > Comments and look for the Display section. Check the "Show userpics next to each comment" option and save your changes.
If you have not enabled Typepad Connect, under Settings > Commnets, look for the "Comment Userpics" section, check the "Show userpics next to each comment" option and save your changes.
Now, whenever someone comments on your blog after signing in, you'll see their very own picture!
You can read more about changing your comment sections in our Knowledge Base. We've got more on Typepad Connect settings too here.
If you want to change your own userpic, that's easy too. Simply edit your profile and upload the image you'd prefer to use.
We hope you found this useful! Check back every other week for more "Did You Know?" tips to help make your blog even better!
I would love, Love, LOVE it if commenters who don't have Typepad accounts could have their own userpics added (not default icons)! I think it'd add much to the feeling of connection.
