How do I do that?`

It's freaking cool.

Published on June 22, 2005 By lifehappens In Blogging

In the forums, several people have little icons/avitars next to their comments.....How can I do that? I'm so brain dead that I need someone to explain it to me...I just can't figure it out .

Simple answer: Go here
More complex answer: The icons are a wincustomize feature that we can also use here due to how the sites are linked. If you go to wincustomize and then the update images section of your account there (see link above) you can set your personal icon. And yes, you have a wincustomize account, same one as on joeuser. Find an icon you want to use and put it in personal icon and you should be all set.

How come I can't see myself?

Possibly due to viewing method? The icons don't show up on your blog proper, you have to view it through the forum (or wincustomize or one of the other stardock websites).
https://forums.joeuser.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=16&AID=79262
That link will show you this article through the forum, where you can see the icons.

And this link will show you the same article through your blog, where the icons don't show up. Perhaps someday that will change, but that's how it works today. Also of note, the links I post look odd in the forums...

Hey, thanks for asking this. I have been meaning to ask the same question but I've just been too busy to do it when I'm thinking about it.
