What if the comments.php doesn’t have a closing tag? The code ends with these strings:

Do I place ID); ?> before or will that mess up the code?

So sorry I’m new at this?

Hi, I landed up reading this through a link from SEO Ultimate, a SEO plugin I have recently switched over to in an effort to clean up a site with a lot of duplicate content in meta and title tags. A lot of problems trying to sort out duplicate content leading from a translation plugin and trying to understand the structure to follow. SEO ultimate is the Ultimate in SEO plugins and this article made me track back once again to my theme, so thanks – information really does not age!

"natural": Try the "Easy Gravatars" plugin if your theme doesn't already support them. John: Good article. Short and too the point. You might be a bit more specific in that wp_footer should probably go right before the closing body tag.

@natural: Yes, the easiest way to add WP 2.5 avatars is to find a theme that supports them.
