  I created an image for my account and my gravatar profile When I look at my gravatar profile, the picture is there. But, when I post a comment, that god-awful ugly gravatar symbol appears next to my name, not the picture I assigned. Even more frustrating is that if I hover over that god-awful ugly gravatar symbol, it pops up my profile and the picture I want it to show.

  What do I need to do to get comments to show my image instead of that god-awful ugly gravatar symbol?

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

  See here http://en.gravatar.com/mlawrence1966

  You can upload your gravatar image that will appear next to your username at Dashboard> Users -> My Profile in the dashboard.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/ Do not forget to select a rating for your image.

  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!
