  I can not seem to upload a picture as my profile picture. It’s just a blank image still. I uploaded a gravatar thinking that would upload as my picture but it’s still an empty black and white pic of nothing.

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

  You uploaded any image into your image gallery but you did not select it to display as a gravatar. http://en.gravatar.com/violetheartache#pic-1

  Gravatars/blavatars (favicons) do not show up instantly after uploading them. Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change.

  Dashboard → Settings → General

  Do not keep uploading!
  Do not forget to select an image rating.

  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/

  To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”.
