  Hello,
  I added a gravatar to my widgets. I was able to type text about me and my blog, however, I am unable to post my photo. It just shows a pink funky widget. Check it out. ShaniSammons.wordpress.com

  How can I get my photo with the gravatar?

  Thanks so much,
  Shani

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

  While logged into wordpress.COM, go to http://en.gravatar.com/ click “my account” and select “add an image.” After you add it, it may take a few hours for it to show up.

  Also, some browsers will hang onto cached pages tenaciously, so make sure and clear your browser cache before checking your blog until it shows up.

  I am having the same problem – all I see is the blue widget…and I have cleared the cache. This is so confusing. Plz help.

  Is this the blog you are talking about http://victoriamarie33.wordpress.com/ ? I see your gravatar just fine on that blog.

  If so, read the second paragraph in my response to the original poster above.

  Yes that is the correct blog and the picture I see here is the correct picture. When I look at my site I see this picture I have uploaded into the blog post itself and I also see to the right of my blog this little blue widget with the words “My gravatar” underneath it. Are you saying you see my picture twice? OR that you’re not seeing that little blue widget to the right of my blog at all? Thanks for your help.

  Yes I see it twice.

  What browser and browser version are you using?

  I’m at work…EI, version 7. Maybe that’s the problem?

  Probably. IE hangs on to things for a very long time. It’s probably unique to that computer and will clear up once it’s cleared its cache and cookies.

  TY. Leaving work now so will check when I get home but I use EI there also. Maybe I should switch to Firefox. Any comments on that?

  I switched and I like it FAR better.

  IE7 and 8 should not typically cause issues and should work reasonably well, but as Raincoaster says, it hangs onto cache file with a death grip. There have been times when I’ve had to clear a cache on IE three times to actually get rid of all the files, restarting the browser in between each clearing.

  Ahhh…okay. I undestand a little better now. I may give FF a try. And BTW and I do see my gravatar photo now. Thanks for all the help. :)
