WordPress Comments.php

I can not get a hang of this at all, can anyone link me to a tutorial with gravatar support and all? and the one on nettuts didn’t help.

http://digwp.com/2010/02/custom-comments-html-output/ I’m just reading through this now, seems to cover all bases.

From what I see, that doesn’t cover gravatars.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Gravatars#Theme_Support_for_WordPress_2.5.2B looks like it can fill in the rest – I am currently looking at reimplementing my own comments, so I am sorry for not noticing the Gravatars straight away. The codex says that you can pass the $comment object as an id. I have yet to code one up yet as I am trying to multi-task, badly.

Post back any progress as I would love to know how it goes.

Just FYI I successfully created a comments function by modifying the one provided in the TwentyTen theme. It works, and gravatars work also. I think the best way to learn it is to jump right in. It’s a lot like dealing with the WordPress loop, except you are working within the ‘functions.php’ and remember not to close the ‘li’, as WordPress will do that.

I appreciate the help, and with some help from the digwp link, and gravatar research on my own, I feel pretty comfortable in editing the comments now, I think I can cover all of wordpress now, thanks for the help.
