  How can I use a my gravatar image for a second blog? I’d like to have the “unexpected road” image I had in my former blog galicianserendipity.wordpress.com in my new one. I don’t like to have the Earth globe on the left hand corner.

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

  One gravatar-blavatar image for every username account no matter how many blogs we register under it is what we get.

  Gravatars/blavatars (favicons) do not show up instantly after uploading them. Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change.

  Dashboard → Settings → General

  Do not keep uploading!
  Do not forget to select an image rating.

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

  For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars including appropriate image sizes for uploading scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/24/gravatar-avatar-blavatar/

  To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”.

  I’m messed up. I didn’t change my gravatar image. What I meant is how to reproduce my gravatar as my personal image on the left-hand corner for my new blog galicianserendipity2015.wordpress.com instead of the basic “W” default image.
  Why is not the blog active on google? It’s been openly activated.

  I’m more focused now… I don’t have the image option on the right area of the general settings section. How can I insert my blavatar?

  Hi there!

  You can upload a blog picture/icon (Blavatar) for your new blog in the general settings in the WP Admin dashboard here:

  https://galicianserendipity2015.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

  That image will appear along with your new blog instead of the WordPress “W” logo.

  Why is not the blog active on google? It’s been openly activated.

  It can take 4-6 weeks for Google to add your new blog to its search results. We notify Google every time you update your blog, so more updates can sometimes encourage Google to add your blog to its search results sooner. :) However, in the end WordPress.com can’t control how your blog appears in search results. We have more details about Search Engines if you’d like to learn more.
