 * 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.
