Shamus<\/a> (of DM of the Rings<\/a> fame) has made his own avatar generating WordPress plugin called Wavatars<\/a>. They do look pretty good. I like the gradients he uses and the artwork looks pretty nice (almost as good as say monsters<\/a> or geometric shapes<\/a> ;) ).<\/p> \r\n

He has some good ideas with automatically adding the icon to the user’s name (I had thought this would mess up the html but now that I think about it should be ok for most blogs) and gravatar support (I suppose they’ll be catching on now that they were bought by the WordPress guy) that I think I’ll implement in my plugins in the near future.<\/p>\r\n

Hopefully we’ll see more automatic avatar generating plugins as they catch on.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shamus (of DM of the Rings fame) has made his own avatar generating WordPress plugin called Wavatars.
