How do I get the gravatar to show across my entire blog/search bar?

    I’ve changed my gravatar and it still isn’t showing up on the search bar. It still shows the old gravatar.

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

    Hello!
    Thanks for checking my gravatar. I want the second picture but since I’ve asked for helped I’ve switched my blog to one that’s hosted here on wordpress. The .com still points to the new one though. I at least did that right, lol, but the gravatar still isn’t showing. I’m really a dunce with all this and tend to go a little crazy all at the same time. I appreciate your help. The newer address is kineticwriting.me (hosted here at wordpress) I thought it would make my life a little easier.
    Thanks again. :)

    Also, after I transferred all the info from one blog to the other I lost my followers and my stats. Is that normal? Am I starting from scratch? IT really doesn’t matter right now but I was just wondering.
    Thanks again.

    Hi!

    Ok, now I have a better idea of what it is you’re trying to do. For kineticwriting, you can add the image that you want for your Blog Picture, here:

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

    You can also modify it in your other site, here:

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

    I’ve switched my blog to one that’s hosted here on wordpress. The .com still points to the new one though.

    I’m not quite sure what you mean by this. Currently, you have the following sites, all hosted by us at WordPress.com :

    http://kineticangel.wordpress.com/
    http://kineticwriter.wordpress.com/
    http://kineticwings.wordpress.com/ (kineticwings.com also points to this site)
    http://kineticwriting.wordpress.com/(kineticwriting.me and kineticwriting.com also point to this site; kineticwriting.com is the primary domain for this site)

    So again, all of these sites are currently hosted here at WordPress.com.

    Also, after I transferred all the info from one blog to the other I lost my followers and my stats. Is that normal? Am I starting from scratch?

    When you “transferred all the info from one blog to the other”, how exactly did you do that? Did you do an export from one of your sites, and then an import to the other one?

    As for your followers and stats, I can transfer your followers for you, but not your stats. If you want me to transfer your followers, I need to know from which site listed above am I transferring them from, and to which am I sending them to?

    Hello.
    As far as changing the picture in the first link you provided, I’ve done that a couple of times. The picture shows in the blog but not in the search bar. Obviously I’m a little manic and have had trouble trying to figure out how I want my blog so I make a new one. I’m pretty sure that this time I won’t be switching from http://www.kineticwriting.com. It’s where I want to concentrate my efforts. I’d love to delete the other blogs but until I go through and make sure I don’t need to copy any info I’m leaving them hidden.

    I guess what I meant by hosted at wordpress is that kineticwriting.wordpress.com (kineticwriting.me) is the only one I want active and it’s domain is registered here with wordpress. I’m trying to simplify everything. When I started this blog thing I had no clue what I was doing and bought a domain elsewhere (Dreamhost) without checking here first and then mapped it to wordpress (kineticwings.wordpress.com) I can’t even remember/figure out exactly what I’ve done. Until I transferred all of the info over to kineticwriting.wordpress.com (kineticwriting.me)

    As far as the transfer goes, I followed the steps provided in the help section at wordpress and it said the transfer was completed successfully. I really don’t need the stats as my blog isn’t that busy, at least not yet, but I’d love it if you could transfer the followers over. Mostly it was showing my follower count from twitter with a few others who actually signed up for emails from my blog link. You would be transferring followers from: http://www.kineticwings.wordpress.com to kineticwriting.wordpress.com (kineticwriting.me) I believe it was around 570-580?? followers. I wish I could just get the .com moved over here but I don’t know how to do it. It would be nice to have it all in one place.

    Question: if i decide that I won’t ever use any of the other blogs and want to delete them will it affect the kineticwriting.me site in any way?

    Thanks again for helping me! and for your patience! In all my excitement to have a blog I feel like I’ve created such a mess. Just want to simplify everything.

    Hi,

    Before I go ahead and process the follower migration, you mention that you have 570-580 followers, but from my end, I see that you have 17 followers, and 5 subscribers by email. Where did you see that figure?

    And when you say ” wish I could just get the .com moved over here but I don’t know how to do it.” can you elaborate on what it is you mean exactly? I can probably help you with that as well.

    And to respond to your question “if i decide that I won’t ever use any of the other blogs and want to delete them will it affect the kineticwriting.me site in any way?” then answer is, no it won’t affect the other sites in any way, they are all unrelated sites.

    I hope that clarifies things for you, and I await your response!

    Hello!
    So I’ve got everything working except my followers so you can go ahead and move them over from the old blog. The extra followers were from twitter. I’m not sure how they were being mixed in with the reg. followers but it doesn’t matter. I don’t want to lose the few followers I had.
    Thanks so much for all your help!!
