  Hi, I am trying to change the picture that is on the WordPress application. I have followed all the Gravatar changing steps and I can see the new images I have added but the old image is still there and I cannot see the image in my profile to delete it.
  I have signed out and back in. What am I doing wrong? Thanks heaps.

  You can have a single gravatar image for a single username account.

  How many username accounts do you have?

  Exactly which one are you referring to?

  A wordpress.com account is a gravatar account. They are one in the same.

  Note that gravatar/blavatar (favicon) images 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

  Replace “http://INSERT_NAME_OF_BLOG” below with

  the actual name of your blog in the URL

  http://INSERT_NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

  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://onecoolsite.wordpress.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”.

  Note that you can also change your gravatar on another page if you prefer to.

  Dashboard → Users → My Profile
