 * i have to say i have been blindly playing around with this and modifying certain
   things. I’m no expert but I’ve got what i needed. except i just tested the comments
   on my site, and i got the following error.
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gravatar() in /home/wwwbrig/public_html/
   blog/wp-content/themes/simple/comments.php on line 30
 * [http://www.brightest-bulb.com/](http://www.brightest-bulb.com/) you should be
   able to see the problem on the first post
 * i haven’t actually touched the comments section so i’m not really sure whats 
   wrong. a little help would be very much appreciated. and sorry if this has been
   answered a thousand times before, but i couldn’t really find anything specific
   to my needs.

 * You have probably installed a theme that has a call for gravatars in comments,
   but on the other hand, seemingly the plugin needed for that is not installed.
   (
   my guess)

 * what are gravatars? would installing this plugin help? or do i need to change
   the file from the theme?

 * [Gravatars](http://www.gravatar.com/). Installing the plugin would make “gravatars()”
   a working function, so it would fix the problem. The other way of solving it 
   would be going to comments.php and debugging it there.
