Unlike other plugins, this one does not need 3rd party plugins to work. Installation is a breeze and if you use standard templates, is most likely takes less than 2 minutes to set up as the avatar can be inserted into the document flow.

If not, you have a third layout option: advanced templating. The site does not help with a description what this means so I had to look through the source: it adds a 'avatar' parameter holding the HTML for the avatar to the 'article' object.

Adding the avatar in advanced mode is simply adding something like this to your template:

article->avatar) { echo $this->article->avatar; } ?>

Cheers for this handy plugin!

It works fine with Bleezer and Windows Live Writer for posting blog entries. Image uploading is handled fine as well.

The only feature that seems to be missing is retrieving previous posts (which can be handy to quote or update old postings).

Keep up the good work!

P.S. I've looked at the source a few times and I dare say the lack of comments is somewhat not handy ;) Also it looks like there is some legacy code from the original module present.
