If they are indeed registered they do have their own avatar so that should be fine.

Friendly as always -thanks timethief :)

As for me, I would not be happy if I was restricted to selecting from only avatars another blogger provided because they "fit" their layout. Frankly I would assume they were a control freak and would be gone in a thrice.

It would be neat if a random avatar would show up that would 'fit' the layout. Oh well. Just a suggestion.

Very unlikely that wordpress.com would bring it in here.

but was wondering if I could upload an avatar that is used when people comment who are not with wordpress.

No you cannot do that.

The ones that randomly show up are... well pretty ugly.

I know I can choose between the mosaic style ones and the monster ones but was wondering if I could upload an avatar that is used when people comment who are not with wordpress.

"For users without a custom avatar of their own, you can either display a generic logo or a generated one based on their e-mail address."

Is it possible to upload a custom avatar? Or a set of avatar to randomly pick from?
