  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.
  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 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 dont think those links are for the today’s version of Word press, because I can go to settings>general and see nothing about the avatars.

  Hi there,

  I can see you were able to upload a Gravatar image. The problem is that your image is not rated as suitable for general audiences, so it won’t display in places that only allow “G” rated photos.

  That said, I don’t see any reason why your picture would not be suitable for most sites. You can re-rate your image by logging in to Gravatar.com and going here: https://en.gravatar.com/emails/

  Just roll over your image and click on its rating, then you can choose to rate it G. Then you can check how your image will display by entering your email address here:
  https://en.gravatar.com/site/check/

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)
