  Hello! Trying to create a Gravatar but am put into a loop. When I access profile directly from WordPress.com to upload image it sends me to Gravatar. When I attempt to sign-in at Gravatar and authorize them to use my WordPress.com account it does nothing but bring me back to the same screen over and over again.l

  Any thoughts? Solutions? Thank you!!!

  A Gravatar account like http://en.gravatar.com/ktevlin and a wordpress.COM account https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/ktevlin are one in the same. http://en.gravatar.com/support/existing-account/

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

  For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsite.wordpress.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”.

  Thank you so much for that information. I think I wasn’t clear, though.

  The system isn’t letting me sign in. It knows I have a WordPress.com account but when I click the button to authorize a sign-in using my WordPress account it keeps coming back to the same login page – meaning I’m not allowed to sign in.

  This is the page it keeps showing me, no matter what I do:

  Hi there,

  Do you have third-party cookies enabled in your browser? Those cookies make sure you stay logged in to your WordPress.com account, even on our other services like Gravatar.

  If you aren’t sure, you can check on our Third Party Cookies support page. That page will show you if you have third-party cookies enabled, and tell you how to enable them if you need to.

  If that doesn’t resolve it for you, please let me know!
