gravatar image?
-
When I post to facebook, and when I’m looking at my dashboard there’s an image I can’t track down. I’ve tried several ways to change this but this picture doesn’t show up anywhere.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
We have no control over the images that Facebook or any other social networks chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

I understand about FB, but the image in the upper left of my WordPress dashboard is what I wanted to change. My gravatar images don’t even include this pic.

Hmmm … you ought to be seeing http://en.gravatar.com/kinderhook88
Will you provide a screenshot for Staff please? I’ll tag this thread for their attention. You can use http://snag.gy/ to share screenshots and link to them here. If you use the WordPress.com guide for screenshots http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/ you can and upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it.

Thanks for your attention. File is here: http://wp.me/a2WQTR-cN
In my library as: WP_dash_screenshot -
I am also interested in this since it’s happening to mine as well. I have a photo in my Gravatar that I’m using, but it doesn’t appear in the upper left corner of either of my websites and an old one that I can’t locate is in the left corner of my first WP website.

I actually figured out how to fix my problem and now have resolved it. I fixed mine by going to my Dashboard, selecting Settings, then General and uploading a new pic into my Blog Picture/Icon setting on the upper right hand side. I don’t know if this will solve kinderhook88’s problem, but wanted to share my success just in case. =)
Good luck!

That did the trick cynthiahershberger, thanks. I would not have thought to look there. Problem solved.

Glad you were both able to figure this out! Thanks so much for sharing your solution, Cynthia. :)
The image you were referring to is your blog icon, and it can be changed at any time by heading to WP Admin > Settings > General and then uploading a new image under the Blog Icon.
If you have any other questions, just get in touch.
