## Instructions
 - [Installation and basic usage](doc/installation.md)
 - [Avatars and Identicons](doc/avatars.md)
 - [Comment Atom Feed](doc/feed.md)
 - [Comment Form (aka: never gather Metadata)](doc/form.md)
 
## Requirements
Pelican 3.4 or newer is required.

To create identicons the Python Image Library is needed. Therefore you either need PIL **or** Pillow (recommended).

##### Install Pillow
	easy_install Pillow
	
If you don't use avatars or identicons this plugin works fine without PIL/Pillow. You will however get a warning that identicons are deactivated (as expected).
