Ho to: Use Twitter avatars in comments

Do you enjoy Twitter? I do. So what about displaying Twitter avatars in your comments, instead of gravatars? In this recipe, you’ll learn how to easily integrates Twitter avatars on your comments.

So you want to integrate Twitter avatars to your comments? No problem!

The first thing to do is to get the functions file here or here.

Once you have it, unzip the archive and open the twittar.php file. Select all its content and paste it to the functions.php file from your theme.

The last thing to do is to open your comments.php file and find the comments loops. Then, paste the following line inside it:

<?php twittar('45', 'default.png', '#e9e9e9', 'twitavatars', 1, 'G'); ?>

Thanks to Smashing Magazine and Ricardo Sousa for this excellent piece of code!

How does it get my Twitter avatar? Or is it only getting the admin’s twitter avatar? I would think I need to type in my twitter user name for it to know my avatar…but I don’t see a spot to do that.

…confused about how this works.
