  I have noticed many people have a photo of themselves when they follow a blog, while I just have a symbol. How do I replace the symbol with my photo?

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,
  I see your blavatar displaying next to the URL in my upper browser bar. You can have a gravatar too.

  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/gravatars/

  For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/24/gravatar-avatar-blavatar/

  Note: Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change. Do not keep uploading! The first place they tend to display is here in the forums. If several days have passed and that change is not in evidence then post here for Gravatar support > http://en.gravatar.com/site/contact-us/

  To set the display on your own blog go to > Settings > Discussion and scroll down to the “Avatars” section.
