  I feel like I am dealing with two websites. The gravatar one and wordpress. I also don’t get a clear look as to what my profile looks like. When I click my profile, it takes me to what looks like a settings page. I don’t even know what to ask. I want to see how my profile would look to someone else.

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

  I’m also unsure how to go about this, but this seems like a good place to start: http://en.support.wordpress.com/manage-my-profile/

  Does that help you with what you need to do?

  What is a gravatar:

  WordPress.com associates an Avatar with your email address.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/gravatars/

  Here is what your profile looks like:
  http://en.gravatar.com/mshar033

  You can change your profile on the gravatar site or on your
  dashboard—>users—>my profile
  (note: automattic is the company behind wordpress and it also owns gravatar)

  Your gravatar can be visible as a hovercard when you make a comment on someones blog.

  If you want your profile to appear in your sidebar, then you can use a gravatar profile widget.

  Or you can display other information about you with the About.me widget:

  You can see what your hovercard looks like here:
  dashboard—>settings—>discussion—>scroll down to “Gravatar Hovercards” and put your cursor over your gravatar picture
