 * I did a brief search, but couldn’t find help for this. When I post a comment 
   to my blog, it comes back with an error message and breaks the page. [http://www.ianandjocelyn.com/blog/](http://www.ianandjocelyn.com/blog/)
   The error is:
    ‘Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gravatar() in /hsphere/
   local/home/lcbarker/ianandjocelyn.com/blog/wp-content/themes/fjords01-10/comments.
   php</b> on line 35’
 * Line 35 is ‘<img src=”<?php gravatar(“R”, 40); ?>” alt=”Gravatar” />’ and I don’t
   know what that is.
 * The comment posts because I can delete it from my Dashboard, but it seems to 
   break the page.
 * Any ideas?

 * Well, as it says: **undefined function gravatar()**. It means your theme is looking
   for a plugin function related to avatars… but you don’t have it.
 * Didn’t the readme of that theme say to install certain plugins?

 * Well, I just deleted that line in the comments.php and it works now. Thanks.
