  @artpredator, I think we need to know what is “old” and what is “new”.

  What I’m seeing is someone smiling at the camera, wearing a hat and sunglasses. Is this the old one or the new one?

  thanks for getting back to me.

  i am using the same image. it is shrunk to a quarter of the square.

  good news tho–my blovatar has shown up and is the right size.

  and it was the right size for a comment i just posted on a blog i’ve never been before.

  so i went to a blog where i comment often http://gingatao.wordpress.com and it’s still srhunk there as well as on my own blog.

  i am starting to suspect it is some sort of caching problem which leads me back to my first question: will the cache clear on its own when i turn off the computer tonight? or do i ahve to try do something more challenging like try to follow the clear your cache directions.

  thanks,

  Since I’m not a safari user, I cannot answer about the cache. I use FireFox and clear the cache manually when the browser shuts down.

  Here’s a screenshot of what I see

  thanks for the screen shot–my version is 1/4 of yours

  now sure why i said safari when i use firefox (i think that was why i even brought it up–that firefox is preferred)

  so how do you clear the cache manually when the browser shuts down? do you do that every time?

  thanks

  @artpredator, go to the “safari” menu and simply select “empty cache” and that will do it. Safari doesn’t empty the cache on a schedule. When the allotted amount of disc space is full, it just starts deleting the oldest cache files as needed.
