How to Change Default Anonymous Avatar in Blogger Comments

In this simple tutorial, I will show you how to change or customize default avatar of anonymous commenters or Blogger users with no picture added on their profiles. After Blogger announced new feature of threaded comment, we can still customize it by adding a jQuery plugin to our template and replacing the default anonymous avatar.

Step 1.

Go to Dashboard - Template - click on the Edit HTML button and then Proceed

...then select Expand Widget Template (don't forget to make a backup)

Step 2. Find (CTRL + F) this code in your template:

</body>

Step 3. Add the following code just 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;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjewz3gSQ4-kwac1gsnhZFk-NPt0mwzl6NnLky2mn-IQnGprYonuSbKUu3EXZEb6FcVKenMFkaGT1vfV7WCfmd5wMYkIXoI2cCGXYZp2qavJMs1kAN7E9DQUqCYTyr4Eh3ygm-sodhW-fU/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/AVvXsEhE1EUA9h6PImFB9ptfZkJjqDc0xRDTci_2uK08h2uH1l7mDNwZexbG7DXNwiBcYXUDXC5MT17GqjJ8gHAPGmfCS3veFS3T7uw-YLY6VqqSZkA3EHSd45DAbJ7rgq_d4DTof1XuWL7213A/s1600/blogger-user.png&#39;)
.ssyby(&#39;blank&#39;)
</script>
