   It's really a great plugin. For long time I wanted livejournal-like post userpics, but I was too lazy to write plugin myself ^_^'
   Thank you very much.

   However, I'd like to ask you for two simple features:
   1) Default avatar option (avatar which is shown if no avatar for post defined) - neccessary since all my old posts are left without avatar, and it's not cute ^_^
   By the way, it would be absilutely wonderful if there were options:
   - use avatar *textarea with URL* as default.
   - use gravatar if no avatar defined.

   2) Web interface avatar upload - I don't really want to go to my ftp every time I find a cool pic.

   Thank you very much, I hope you'll integrate those features, it won't take you more then 20 minutes :)

   Hmmm...
   For myself, I corrected this with code
   

   <?php
   $showav=0;
   if(function_exists(gkl_get_postavatar))
   {
   $data=gkl_get_postavatar();
   if($data['avatar_url'])
   	gkl_postavatar('avatar avatar-100');
   else $showav=1;
   }
   if(function_exists("get_avatar")&&($showav==1)) echo get_avatar(get_the_author_email(), 100); ?>

   Gravatar is shown if there's no avatar defined for post.
   I think you should add this little piece of code to FAQ or manual =)

   Even more comfortable:

   function true_avatar()
   {
   $showav=0;
   if(function_exists(gkl_get_postavatar))
   {
   $data=gkl_get_postavatar();
   if($data['avatar_url'])
   	gkl_postavatar('avatar avatar-100');
   else $showav=1;
   }
   if(function_exists("get_avatar")&&($showav==1)) echo get_avatar(get_the_author_email(), 100);
   }

   Hey Jehy, thanks for the feedback.

   I've been debating with myself on the best way to include a default image - it'll probably be available in the next release.

   - use avatar *textarea with URL* as default.

   Can you please explain what you mean by this?

   As for a web upload - I'm planning on integrating that functionality through the use of WordPress media uploads.

   Oh, sorry for my english :))
   I just meant that it would be wonderful, if you could choose default avatar either from Post Avatar's set or gravatar.

   Now I think that instead of gravatar option, there should be just a plain URL - I think that many users would like to use avatars from their social services as default.
