The AvatarBlocks Module
The AvatarBlocks module provides a collection of blocks for use on a Drupal social networking site. The avatars act as click-able links to the profile pages for your site's users.
- Who's Online Avatars - a block that displays the user pictures of online users, and optionally a text summary of online users. This block is a visual version of the Who's Online block provided by the core user module.
- Who's New Avatars - a block that displays the user pictures of your site's newest members. This block is a visual version of the Who's New block provided by the core user module.
- My Buddylist Avatars - If you have the Buddylist module installed, this block will display the user pictures of the current user's buddies. This block is a visual version of the My Buddylist block provided by the buddylist module.

We're happy to announce the release of version 0.14 of the NewsFlash theme for Drupal. It is available now on the download page.
This release adds several new features to NewsFlash that were first introduced in the Beale Street theme. We've added suckerfish menus, adjustable sidebar widths, an external CSS file option, and a user-specified font family, among other features. We've also fixed a couple of problems. The theme includes a release notes file listing all changes.
As with previous version of NewsFlash, the theme uses the ThemeSettingsAPI module. The latest version of this module is included in the dowload package.
