  I added a new user to my site for me to use via dashboard>users>add new (the main user is associated with my full name and I wanted to create one with a pseudonym). Is it possible to set up a Gravatar for this new user? When the username is clicked on on my site I would like it to go to http://www.gravatar.com/%5Bnewuser%5D not gravatar.com/[originaluser that is my full name]. The problems are:

  -Gravatar requires a wordpress.com user, and I think this new user may only be affiliated with my specific site, not wordpress.com (when I created the user the form said it would be “brand new”). I can’t log in as the new user, just as the original one.

  -I tried adding the email address affiliated with the new user to the original user’s Gravatar profile, but when I go to to http://www.gravatar.com/%5Bnewuser%5D it just shows the Gravatar logo (with no way to change it–clicking on it doesn’t work) and “JSON XML PHP VCF QR” even though I did set up a profile picture for the new email address.

  -I made a test comment as the new user and when the gravatar beside is clicked on, it still goes to gravatar.com/[originaluser]

  Any insights? Thank you so much in advance.

  Anyone have any insight?

  Actually, I didn’t!

  When I click on the gravatar next to my test comment, it still traces back to gravatar.com/[originalusername].

  The main problem is I don’t know how I can make a separate account if the new user was added as a “brand new” one just on my blog. I could make another wordpress.com account maybe, but then how would I add that user to my blog? Is there a way?

  OK, I was able to change the [originalusername] on Gravatar, but I’m wondering how to link the account to my new username change the profile picture for @newusername. As said above, gravatar/newusername photo cannot be changed when it is clicked and the only other thing else on the page is “JSON XML PHP VCF QR”
