Hi LeAnna,
It looks like you still haven’t set your Gravatar successfully. In addition to the method described previously, you can do so by going here:
http://en.gravatar.com/leannarhodes
And logging in with your WordPress.com credentials and updating your gravatar. Don’t worry, Gravatar and WordPress.com are all the same company, so you aren’t putting your credentials in somewhere unsafe.
Let me know if you have any problems!

I linked my wordpress with my gravatar account, I updated my gravatar but still nothing 😔

Ah! I see the issue. On WordPress.com you have to have a “G” rated gravatar. Both of the images which you have uploaded you have set to PG. If you feel that they are “clean” enough to merit the rating, please set one of them to G and it should display OK. Otherwise, you will have to either upload a G rated image or stick with the default.
Sorry for the confusion!
