How To Change Default Avatars For Anonymous Users In Blogger Comments

Here’s a nice little trick that some of you, especially Blogger neophytes, might want to try out on your blog site. It’s a simple hack from the guys over at helplogger that teaches you how to change Blogger’s default avatar pic for users with no photo or anonymous people in your comment section.


I won’t waste much of your time and just give you the set of instructions below. And remember, it is always good practice t back up your template first before making any changes to it.
On your dashboard, go to ‘Template’
Choose ‘Edit HTML’ and then ‘Proceed’
Click on the ‘Expand Widget Template’ box to check it
Now using ‘Ctrl+F’, look for </body> Then copy/paste the following code above it

<script src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js'/>
<script>
$(&quot;img[src=&#39;http://img1.blogblog.com/img/anon36.png&#39;]&quot;)
.attr(&#39;src&#39;, &#39;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zphr2YJH_6w/T6ZZE4YeNBI/AAAAAAAACF0/Tyuj8hkOpdc/s1600/default_avatar.gif&#39;)
.ssyby(&#39;blank&#39;)
