Would you all do something for me? Pretty please?

Have you ever noticed in comments how some of you have your bright, smiling picture and some of you have generic quilt-looking things to represent you in your comments? Have you ever wondered how to make your photo appear next to your comments?

Remodel Project: Big couch. Little door.

boybarians remodel the basement

In case you don’t follow me on twitter (what?! you don’t??? *gasp* Aw, it’s okay. I never tweet anything worth reading.)… we are remodeling the basement.
