Comment Author Icons
Discussion boards have had author icons for years, but Daniel Kapusta’s In My Experience is the first weblog I’ve seen that offers customizable icons for comment authors. If you don’t like any of the default icons, you even have the option of creating your own icon and pointing to it by including faceurl=image_url_here in the comment.
This is a great example of subtle personalization that’s simple and fun. I’ve also found that it makes it much easier to scan for comments by a specific people.
Dan says that Brad Choate also deserves credit for creating the Regex and Key Values Movable Type Plugins, which make the comment icons possible.
