It is between <vb:comment> tags which means it won't show. You need to remove those comment tags.

That fixed it. Thank you for being patient and helpful!

One more question, how would I edit it so that the image aligns to the left of the the author name, date, etc ?

Can you tell me what I need to edit in the CSS so that the avatar aligns up to the left of the username and publishing info.

I'd need to see the page and view it using firebug to be able to write some CSS.

You are going to have to rewrite parts of that template to do that. You can't just add some simple CSS to make it how you want. You'd want to throw the image into the "class="fullwidth"" div and float it left. After that you should be able to play with the other CSS to get things to lineup how you want.
