  Hi there!

  I get lost in WordPress sometimes too! I’m guessing that you mean your gravatar profile pic:

  1. Start from pretty much anywhere in WordPress.
  2. Click on the little circle in the top right that shows your username when you hover over it. It should have that picture that you see appearing to the left of your username here in the forums (the one of the red boxes and triangles.) That will take you to your WP profile page.
  3. The place for your picture should show up there near the top left of the page. Click on that and follow the directions to upload a picture.

  Let me know if that’s not what you were looking for.

  Kind regards,
  Jason

  Note that gravatars/blavatars (favicons) do not show up instantly after uploading them. Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change.

  Dashboard → Settings → General

  Do not keep uploading!
  Do not forget to select an image rating.

  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/

  For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/24/gravatar-avatar-blavatar/

  To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”.
