I'm trying to get a custom gravatar to appear beside each post on Tshirt Alert. I have installed the plugin User Photo, but I am unsure where to place it within my template's code. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think you need a plugin to do this. http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Gravatars#Using_Gravatars_in_WordPress I've simply got <?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 40 ); ?> in my comments.php file.
Hmm....interesting. Where are these gravatars that you are referring to stored? Is it in the Wordpress.com profile? If so, I am trying to avoid that, and have the avatars stored locally in my Wordpress installation....
I think I might have misunderstood the question. On my site, the avatars are pulled from user accounts at gravatar.com.
Gravatar stands for "Globally recognized avatar", stored in wordpress's server, mainly being used at comment area. You are not refering to gravatar then. I think you are refering to post thumbnail. Therefore the function Kerosene gives you is not what you want.
