  How do I change this icon that is next to my name when I post, I see that some people have pictures and mine is just a design. I would like to add a picture.

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

  Go to users > your profile and you can upload a new avatar there.

  One thing to keep in mind is that it may take several hours for the new avatar to make it all the way to all the wordpress servers, so it may not show up next to your comments for a little while. Worst case would be about 24 hours due to server loads and such, but that is rare.

  Also, you have a mistake in your blog URL linked to your username. You have “http://(email visible only to moderators and staff)/”. There is no @ sign in it. Replace the @ sign with a period as such: http://rawkinmom.wordpress.com/ .

  Go to settings > general. Make sure and click “save changes” at the bottom of the page after making the change.
