If you want to add the Sweet Melissa Sundays avatar to your blog, here are the instructions (which were taken from the Tuesdays with Dorie site) since I am no techno person (this site was a big challenge – thank you Jesse Kocher).
WordPress Instructions
Choose the code under the image you want to put in your blog.
Go to your dashboard and click on design
Select Widgets
Add a Text Widget
Paste the code in the text Widget and move your text widget to the order you want it to appear on your sidebar
Save and you’re done
Blogger Instructions
Blogger can be a little trickier because sometimes it likes to add extra quotes. If it adds extra quotes, just monkey around with the quotes around the end of the url until you can convince blogger that you’re doing the right thing.
Go to the layout section
Click add a page element on the top of the right column
Then find the element called “HTML/Javascript” and add it to your blog
Put the code in, save and you’re done

The avatar is super cute. The code is working on my site but the image is a bit too big (it’s getting cut off on my sidebar). Does anyone know how I can re-size the image?
Hi everyone! I am new to Sweet Melissa Sundays, but I figured out how to post the avatar in Blogger, if anyone still needs help. It took me a while to figure it out, but if you go to “add a gadget” and click on it, there is an option “HTML/Java script”. Click that option and put the code in there. Hth!
I am the culinary manager for a chef portal that is sharing information and recipes form professionals to students. Our site is free for all professionals to join. As I travel to culinary schools around the US, I often get information and links from my students. One of them suggested your site.
I am very impressed by the content and design of you site, so I am forwarding an invitation to discuss some of the following ideas:
Collaboration on recipes to my global community
Linking our community to expand both.
Quotes to drive new original content for my site
A place to send my community for webinars and podcasts, especially for baking pastry.
If you are interested in speaking, please contact me in the US office or by email. Thank you.

Yup, Blogger is acting up with this code. I’ve tried messing around with the quotes but it’s still being a giant brat. I will keep messing around with it though because the avatar is just too cute!!
