  Hi all
  In the gray-tool bar i have 2 pictures. the one on the right hand side is my profile picture (gravator picture) and I have another picture in the left hand side (before the name of my blog). This left hand picture can be changed if i go to (settings–>general).

  My question, why and when this picture is used/appears? I do not see any use of it?

  Thanks a lot.

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

  That’s a favicon ie. a blavatar
  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/

  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 and I see your Gravatar here. 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/
