How to Change Default Anonymous Avatar in Blogger Comments

Earlier, you've seen how you can change the size of the avatars in blogger comments and now I will show you how to change or customize the default avatar of anonymous commenters or Blogger users with no picture on their profiles. While Blogger announced the new threaded commenting system, we can still customize it by adding a jQuery plugin to our template and then replace the default anonymous avatar that can be found on this address: http://img1.blogblog.com/img/anon36.png and the one for blogger users: http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b36-rounded.png ...with our own.

Replace the Default Anonymous Avatar on Blogger Comments


Step 1. Go to Dashboard - Template - click on the Edit HTML button


...click anywhere inside the code area and open the template search box by pressing the CTRL + F keys

Step 2. Type or paste this code in the search box, then hit Enter to find it:
</body>
Step 3. Just above the </body> tag, add the following code:
<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;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijJeBRW30Q0WkhVsbtmgSG-FQ7A8wx8etqDIflfKmFTCPSUAhSWdBtdAd4dRFQdsTor6KWcPuPNG2Uaw9teoJXh9LFUpJ9By0iog8ifLUIYAawi8EidHQhl0xG-xgnLwmv1K5VgZvPxBk/s1600/default_avatar.gif&#39;)
.ssyby(&#39;blank&#39;)
</script>
<script src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js'/>
<script>
$(&quot;img[src=&#39;http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b36-rounded.png&#39;]&quot;)
.attr(&#39;src&#39;, &#39;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVP18BsKOXFEVbMoJ7hay_SXNLbZOm1HmlEL4d-Rrs29uLjKJX7FRlkp2NTcOdwuDhvPP6glGhuGkxZlOlUqznso6I_QAvi_ZOkzSoi8vATFBOWLX8ihNYn5-RSmekNq4vCzMilA1drWI/s1600/blogger-user.png&#39;)
.ssyby(&#39;blank&#39;)
</script>

    1. I'm having the same problem. Copy/Pasted your links and URL's and isn't working. Hmmm, wondering if it only applies to future comments rather than previous?

      Great tutorials BTW - finding your site VERY helpful.

    2. Sorry, I forgot to mention that this works only for threaded comments (with reply button) ! But you can still change the anonymous avatar on single level commenting -> please try to apply the trick from here.

  25. Customizing will always be easy with jquery and javascript. Even adding more functionality to blogger template has become more challenging like adding shopping cart features etc. Your codes are very helpful and the main thing it works...
