  Hi,
  I am quite desperate, please help me:
  When http://iamkialilith.wordpress.com/ is open on my screen I see a VERY VERY old picture of me in the left corner. I’d like to replace it or – at least – remove it. I don’t care if there’ll be a picture of a rabbit instead. I just don’t want to see that terribly old pic of me. (Yes, it may look good, but my hair is all grey and short today.) The thing is that when I published a new blog (what ever you call it) today and shared it on facebook, that old picture shows up.

  Please tell me what to do.

  Thank you so very much!

  Kind regards,
  Kia Lilith

  We have no control over the images that Facebook or any other social networks chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

  Maybe these will help or maybe not.

  Thank you for helping me!

  So, there is no way for me to change or remove that old pic that is connected to my account?

  I see it, but I don’t know why that image would show and not your present Gravatar image. Have you changed the Gravatar image recently? I just noticed that at the Manage Gravatars page (http://en.gravatar.com/emails/) I have multiple images.

  That is not your personal gravatar, but your site’s blog avatar, or blavatar.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/ explains how to change it.
