Gravatar/Profile Pic

  • Unknown's avatar

    One question.. please have patience.. I am very new to this. Just figured out the difference between a page and a post if you can believe that! My question is this. I read some other postings about Gravatars and followed the instructions to change it. I realize that this could take some time. That being said.. is my gravatar the same thing as the tiny little pic of myself that shows up on my Internet Explorer tab?? If it is not, then where do I go to change that picture? Ultimately, is there a difference between a gravatar and a profile pic?

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

    No, the one that shows up in the browser tab, or address bar is a “blavatar” (blog avatar). It can be uploaded at settings > general under “blog picture.”

    Blavatars can take up to 24 hours to completely resolve after you upload it, but typically it is quicker. You might have to clear your browser cache several times over the next 24 hours to see it, but once it shows up everything should be fine.

    Profile pic = gravatar = avatar. They are all the same.

    Blavatar (blog avatar) = blog picture.

    With the multiple terms, it can be confusing, but at some point the multiple names will settle down – I hope.

    Thank You very much! Any tips on how to change my headline?

    Are you talking about your blog title?

    It’s a good idea to include a link to your blog when asking questions in the forum since many times we need to take a look in order to be able to help.

    Again, thank you so much for all of your help! I figured out the headline question. I think the last question I have is this. I have a feedburner e-mail subscription box on my page. How do I tell who subscribes?

    My blog is missbhavin.wordpress.com :)

    The subscribers will be listed in your account admin over at feedburner. You will have to root around over there to find them. They really need to do a major upgrade on their user interface at feedburner.
