lovely thick handlebar ‘stache. Man it up with Mustavatar!

  • Allow control of Mustavatar on a per-post basis,
  • Allow specified posts/pages to be excepted from mustachification.

    What about those of us who are already facially hirsute?

    • Dougal says:

      If the mustachify service can recognize a face, it will attempt to put on its own facial improvements, regardless of any pre-existing mustache, beard, soul-patch, sideburns, muttonchops, etc.

      Unfortunately, your avatar seems to be too low-contrast for it to work…

  2. Doug Stewart says:

    Does this work with BuddyPress? I can’t confirm such…

    • Dougal says:

      It will work with anything that uses the ‘get_avatar’ filter underneath. I assume that would be true for BuddyPress, but I have not confirmed it for myself.

  3. Doug Stewart says:

    You need another mode: Selleck.

    • Dougal says:

      Currently, these are the the only mustache styles supported by the mustachify.me webservice. I might consider running my own server and adding new styles, though.

  4. Dougal says:

    Upcoming feature: Mustache style selection modes

    • Force all to use the same style (with 3 styles to choose from)
    • Random
    • Sticky mode — more-or-less random selection for each person, but a given person should consistently use the same style

    Hi,

    Can you tell me how you made your “about the author” card ?? is this a plugin or what ?

    I like it !!!

    Thx a lot (for fancybox)

  6. It’s something I coded into my theme’s templates (pages and single-posts). You can see the code here:
