When you make social media posts, like comments to blogs or updates to forums, you have the opportunity to post an image of yourself. But, with all the different forums, blogs, and other social media outlets out there, it can quickly become tiresome to upload your image to everyone of them. Until now…

My Gravatar
I think I did it. Let me see…….
wow!
I set mine up but haven’t noticed it being used anywhere yet.
Hi Gavin,
On the Gravatar site, you may have set the rating to the adult setting which can interfere with how it displays. After check that, make sure you link is set properly by double checking here: http://en.gravatar.com/support/check
Do I need to use a gravatar to have a photo on this site?
Yes. We do use the gravatar system to support avatar photos.
Just set up my Gravatar, let’ see what happens!
Gravatar now requires new users to log in through a WordPress account. For some reason, the login I set up while working through Rebecca’s video series “How to Set Up Your Own Freelance Website Using WordPress” would not work.
According to the WordPress forum, you need to create a separate WordPress account for Gravatar. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-login-to-gravatar-using-wp-login
Not sure why the extra step is necessary, but apparently it works!
Testing!
I see your gravatar 🙂
This is an example of content that “just keeps on giving!” Three years after posting, it helped me today, to figure out what I needed to do so that my picture is displayed on this website (and others). Go Wealthy Web Writer! Thanks Karen!

Nancy
Now we’ll see if it worked …

Hi everybody
I’m new here, and this is my first post. I read Heather’s welcome email, in which she suggested I should ad my photo, so I came here to watch the video.
But the video doesn’t work — because I don’t have Flash installed (and I don’t want Flash on my computer).
Second, it looks like I have to have a WordPress account — which I also don’t want to have.
So, unfortunately, my profile will remain picture-less.
Hi Heather,
Thanks for welcoming me to the Wealthy Web Writer. I have signed in to Gravatar and added my Avatar.
Thanks very helpful. That’s next.
Thank you for the three minute guru. will be getting my Gravatar very soon.
Let’s see how well I did… do you see me?
I see you 🙂

Am I live, or am I Memorex? Does that even exist anymore? I’m pretty sure I do.
I’m looking forward to getting to know as many of my fellow writers as possible.
Testing to see if I did this correctly. Thanks for sharing the “how-to” video!

I see you 🙂
Ok, I’m not very good at this so checking to see if my gravatar works.
I see you 🙂
Hi, I set up my Gravatar, with my email address connect with my wordpress and not with the email connected to this account. Will that create a problem.
It does mean your gravatar is not working on this site.
Hi Karen:
I just wanted to say thank you. It was just that easy and it worked!

Hi Karen:

I set it up in Gravatar, and I set up my profile – photo included. Where’s my avatar??
Connie
I can see your avatar, Connie 🙂
I can’t use this. it would be so much easier to just upload a pic.
Testing to see if it works
I see you!
Hmm. I just figured out how to create my Gravatar. testing it now.
Jodie
I see you 🙂
