  I am an administrator on So Far From Heaven so my gravatar image on comments links to that blog. But now I have another blog, and from now on I want to link my gravatar image to the new blog, Jeanne Kasten Studio.
  What do I need to do to make it change?

  In choosing my blog address on the form below,, it’s really jeannekasten.com not jeannekasten.wordpress.com just so you know.

  Howdy, to update where your name links to in comments you can edit the web address field here:
  https://wordpress.com/?ssl=forced#!/settings/account/

  That will be what new comments you make link to. There is not currently a way to go back and update past comments, though.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

  Um… that didn’t seem to take effect. Is there a time lag on it?

  It’s not showing me an option for http://jeannekasten.com in the drop down menu, only jeannekasten.wordpress.com and some others.

  Is it really a requirement that I give you a phone number? I don’t remember having to do that before. Maybe that is where the hang-up is, too.

  Have a look at this screenshot for what you need to do. Be sure to click the turquoise “Save Changes” button when you’re done!

  Providing us with a cell phone number is definitely not a requirement, but it can help you regain access to your account more easily if for some reason you get locked out. You can learn more here about our SMS (text) account recovery option.

  That did work, but only after I gave you the country code and a phone number. It seems that the phone number issue holds up any changes if there isn’t one listed. So you might want to take note of that. Without that, I just got a red error message in that field and the Save Changes button didn’t function.
  Thanks for taking the time with me to see this through.

  Thanks so much for alerting me to this – that field should not be required, and I’m letting our developers know so it can be fixed. We realize not everyone has a cell phone or wants to add it to their account. Sorry about that.

  I just wanted to let you know that this should now be fixed, and the cell phone number should no longer be required, in case you wanted to remove yours. Thanks again for informing us about this.
