Hey, registered Houstonist commenters: You now have avatars! If you have a profile (and if you don't yet, why not register?), just go to "Edit Profile" and upload a 100 x 100 pixel image. Then try commenting (on this post!) and bask in the glory of our ever-improving commenting system.
For now, the default avatar for registered commenters across the Gothamist network is a baby panda — and no, it's not clear why, though we have to admit that it's pretty darn cute. Still, you'll probably want to change it to ... you know, whatever. Maybe a vintage photo of former Mayor Kathy Whitmire? Or, for that matter, a shot of Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie? Oh, wait — same thing.
The avatars are the latest step in improving our comment system: By the end of the month, it'll be registration-only, but your commenting profiles will be much more customizable. We really hope you'll decide to take part by spending a few seconds registering your profile.

Hmm.... uploading the file doesn't seem to be working for me. Also the first edit profile link takes me to Torontoist.
Looks like yours uploaded just fine, laanba.
Well never mind. It wasn't doing that, you know, when I first posted.
Carry on.
Wondering how this will look shrunk down to 100x100 pixels...
Not bad. But why is it shoved over to the right?
That's just how life is, bilbao. Nice picture!
Let's see if this worked.
hum - let's see...
Merp.

The panda is kind of disturbing. Just saying.
They're pandas cuz Jen likes pandas.
that panda is just too cute.
Congrats to me, this is the only avatar I use that isn't a cat. Yet.
Parsons, please stop the panda pun-ishment.
