  I haven’t figured out how to link my username to my blog yet. I have gone into my profile, added my blog address under the website collumn. But when I press my username on comments I’ve made I get a popup message (in Norwegian), saying something like: The address is not valid and can not be loaded. Sorry, my english is crap right now. Tired. Anyway. What am I doing wrong?

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

  Your username is linked to this blog: http://eremitt.wordpress.com/ and it is working. Your change isn’t retroactive so any comments that you have already made will not update with the link.

  Also, could you give do a right click or something and paste the link here in this thread that it is saying isn’t valid?

  Looks like I’m actually linked on this page though. Weird. But my Gravatar is not the one I uploaded.

  Gravatars can take up to 12 hours (24 in some cases) to make it through all the wordpress servers. It will show up here first, and then begin showing up in blogs.

  If it doesn’t show up within 12 hours, try going directly to http://gravatar.com/ while logged into wordpress and then click on the “my account” menu and upload it there under “add an image”. The wordpress gravatar upload thing has been quite inconsistent for the past month or so.

  Wops. Wrote at the same time.

  I can’t paste the link, as “popup” really isn’t the right word. So it has no address. It’s more of a message with a big yellow triange and a “!” (can’t remember this signs name). And I need to press okay to remove it.

  Go to my test blog and leave a message there: http://opposablethumbz.wordpress.com/ and see if it links correctly.

  The wordpress gravatar didn’t work for me at all, so I used http://gravatar.com/ I guess I just have to be patient. Look again tomorrow or something. :) Thank you for your help. I haven’t really written any comments after I linked my username and blog. Maybe the message goes away. I’ll see after I’ve made a new comment I guess.

  It worked just fine on your test blog! Even my gravatar was there. Thanks a lot!

  @eremitt, sorry I had comment moderation on. Both of your comments showed up on my site with your username linked to your blog as they should. You can take a look if you wish.
