I have gravatar enabled on my site. But most of my commenters aren’t aware of gravata. I’d like to edit my comments.php file so that I can display a message like “Hey, if you want to put up your icon/ image/ avatar, you just need to go to gravatar.com and register yourself. Go for it. ”

But, inasmuchas I’m an absolut newbie in coding, and I don’t really understand it, I don’t know what I should do. WHERE in the comments.php file should I put the code, and WHAT code do I put?

Please help. Thanks.

There are plugins as well, however, if you want full control I’d say it is better to use the get_avatar() tag in the theme.

I’ve been using a plugin for this. It looks like its much more flexible your way
