Seperating Avatar from Post (Long!)

I’ve downloaded template framework so I can try to teach myself how to make customer templates. I’m doing go so far and figuring out what everything does. BUT, I cannot for the life of me find out how the avatar gets there.

All I want to do is seperate the avatar from the rest of the post. But its not working. I was thinking about having two DIVs side by side, but I can’t figure which is the avatar function – if its even in my index.php file.

So, if its not in my index, what should I do?

Thanks in advance.

Oh and sorry for the formating. I C&Ped straight from the download. Maybe its half the reason I can’t make sense of it.

My index.php:

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="content">

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
<?php the_meta(); ?>
				</div>

				<p class="postmetadata"><?php if (function_exists('the_tags')) { the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); } ?>Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
			</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
		</div>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Here’s my functions. Theres a avatar code in there, but it doesn’t do much – I don’t think. I changed the size and it didn’t work at first. Its weird, I’ve changed it yesterday on my home server, didn’t work. I uploaded it to my remote server and it didn’t work. Then it just randomly worked.

Functions.php:

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array(
        'before_widget' => '',
        'after_widget' => '',
        'before_title' => '<h2>',
        'after_title' => '</h2>',
    ));
?>
<?php
function widget_mytheme_search() {
?>
<h2>Search</h2>
<form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/"> <input type="text" value="type, hit enter" onfocus="if (this.value == 'type, hit enter') {this.value =<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 100 ); ?>
 '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'type, hit enter';}" size="18" maxlength="50" name="s" id="s" /> </form>
<?php
}
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') )
    register_sidebar_widget(__('Search'), 'widget_mytheme_search');
?>
<?php
add_filter('comments_template', 'legacy_comments');
function legacy_comments($file) {
	if(!function_exists('wp_list_comments')) : // WP 2.7-only check
		$file = TEMPLATEPATH . '/legacy.comments.php';
	endif;
	return $file;
}
?>

And finally, I have another called lagacy_comments that doesnt’t work when I chnage the avatar size.

<?php // Do not delete these lines
	if (!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

	if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
		if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
			?>

			<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>

			<?php
			return;
		}
	}

	/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
	$oddcomment = 'class="alt" ';
?>

<!-- You can start editing here. -->

<?php if ($comments) : ?>
	<h3 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Responses', 'One Response', '% Responses' );?> to “<?php the_title(); ?>”</h3>

	<ol class="commentlist">

	<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

		<li <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
			<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 124 ); ?>
			<cite><?php comment_author_link() ?></cite> Says:
			<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>

			<?php endif; ?>

			<small class="commentmetadata"><a>" title=""><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php comment_time() ?></a> <?php edit_comment_link('edit','&nbsp;&nbsp;',''); ?></small>

			<?php comment_text() ?>

	<?php
		/* Changes every other comment to a different class */
		$oddcomment = ( empty( $oddcomment ) ) ? 'class="alt" ' : '';
	?>

	<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

 <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>

	<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
		<!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. -->

	 <?php else : // comments are closed ?>
