Sexify your comments with avatars and forum-like formatting.  

== Description ==

Plugin by: Matthew Batchelder at [BorkWeb](http://borkweb.com/ "Author Homepage")

Replacing the comment section of your template, this plugin outputs forum style comments
optionally with avatars.  The full feature list is as follows:

* Forum-thread-like comment layout: User information to the left, comment to the right.
* Author post highlighting
* Altered Trackback/Pingback Display Formating
* Avatars
	* Either display/hide avatars
	* Select your avatar service of choice (Gravatar is the only option until I find more avatar services)
	* Specify maximum avatar dimension
	* Customize default/trackback avatars
* "Number of Comments" Message Customization
* CSS Overriding


== Installation ==

 1. Download and unzip the sexycomments.zip
 2. Place sexycomments folder in your wp-content/plugins directory
 3. Log in to your WordPress admin panel and activate the plugin, then visit the SexyComments submenu of the plugins tab.
 4. Customize the settings until you have something that works for you.
 5. Locate the template file(s) in your theme that loops over and displays comments. Remove that comment output loop and replace with:

					<?php sexycomments_print($comments); ?>

		NOTE: Be sure not to touch the section that generates the form for adding comments! This plugin does not re-create the comment creation form.
 6. Lastly, consider disabling the plugin CSS and taking the example CSS provided and customize it to suit your theme's color scheme.
 7. You should be all set, now! w00t w00t! Go make a Gravatar account if you don't already have one and upload an avatar.


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= When I'm replacing my comment section with your plugin, should I back up my comments template? =

Yes.  Backing up your template file is always a good plan.

= Does your plugin replace the comment form? =

No.  SexyComments just replaces the output of comments, not the input. 

= Are you a god? =

No.  But I do like to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
