  How do I change the image in the upper left hand corner of the page? It gets embedded so when I share a post socially that doesn’t have its own image, that one ends up defaulting. I remember setting it when I first signed up for the site, but now I can’t change it.

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

  Hi there,

  favicon = blavatar and that’s what you are referring to.

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

  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/

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