Note: this post is now out of date. Go to Gravatars in Blogsome instead. I did get Gravatars working in Blogsome to some extent a while ago, but it exposed the email addresses. What I’ve done now is obscure the email addresses, and it should be safe to use: <script type="text/javascript"> {capture name=reader}{comment_author_email}{/capture} var ob_email = "{$smarty.capture.reader|replace:'@':';'}"; var email = ob_email.replace(/;/g,"@"); document.write('<div class="right"><img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id='); document.write(hex_md5(email)); document.write('&size;=50" /><\/div>'); </script> Basically, it grabs the Commenter’s email address, and changes it in Smarty from email@domain.com to email;domain.com - then JavaScript is used to change it back before passing to the hex_md5(); function. You will need to have the following code inserted in your template somewhere before this: <script type="text/javascript" src="/images/md5.jpg"></script> And the file md5.jpg stored on your server, or the following line (using the copy on my server): <script type="text/javascript" src="http://schinckel.net/images/md5.jpg"></script> If you download my version, clicking on the links won’t work: you’ll need to right-click and choose Save…
