  Hi there! I have begun the monumental task of copying ALL 400+ blog entries from my old myspace and tribe blogs. I want to preserve all the old comments too because the comments are the life blood of my blogging! So i enter each one and put in the commenter’s name and email and backdate the comment. Sounds good right?

  The problem is… anything i input myself is showing MY avatar. i don’t get how this is happening. I thought gravatars are generated based on the email address entered.

  My method worked fine on another theme i was using. In that one, i had to install a gravatar plugin to get it to work… and if i revert back to this theme, all the old comments display the correct gravatars. but if i have this plugin turned on and switch back to the DeFusion theme, there are 2 avatars per comment! 1 generated by the plugin, and the darn picture of me right next to it.

  I like the fact that DeFusion supports gravatars natively… but is there some line(s) in the css that i can modify to make it fetch the correct gravatar data like the plugin does?

  thanks in advance for your help!

  I recentlly created a WordPress blog (http://programbytes48k.blogspot.com) and I’m a bit confused using avatars. While I submitted my own avatar (the one I think is being showed here), it doesn’t appear in my blog with my own comments but a custom one instead. How can I change to make it appear there?

  Curiously, in other blogs in which I left a comment, it appears rightly. That’s so strange to me!!! :/

  Thank you for any help.

  When did you update the picture? It sometimes takes a couple of days to work its way through the system. You could also try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies to see if that helps.

  Oh, I see why. You seem to have left a comment when you weren’t signed in. Your name isn’t linking to your blog either.
