  A wordpress.com account and a gravatar account are one in the same thing.
  Why Does Gravatar Say I Already Have an Account?
  http://en.gravatar.com/support/existing-account/

  You can use one gravatar image for each username account. It will apply to all sites referred under the same username account. And, the Gravatar help link is http://en.gravatar.com/support/

  If you did this How to Make Your Gravatar Profile Private then you can undo what you did http://en.gravatar.com/support/profile-privacy/

  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.

  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/

  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.
  Know that other bloggers can choose not to display any “erotic” gravatar’s on their site.

  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/gravatars/

  To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to Dashboard > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/gravatar-hovercards/

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are different but you can use Gravatar for you self-hosted site as well:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  You can follow these steps to use your Gravatar on your self hosted site:

  1.) Login to your site’s Dashboard, and navigate to Settings > Discussion.

  2.) Scroll down to the section titled Avatars, and make sure “Show Avatars” is checked.

  3.) Save your changes.

  4.) Now, navigate to Users > Your Profile.

  5.) Scroll down to Contact Info, and make note of your email address.

  6.) Confirm that you have a Gravatar.com account associated with that email address. You can use this tool to check:
  http://en.gravatar.com/site/check/

  7.) If you don’t have an account associated with that email address, head over to http://gravatar.com and create one.

  8.) Now your Gravatar will appear with your author account!

  Please let me know if you need a hand with anything. I’m happy to help!
