my website is a "Not Found" page

    I have just noticed that when I comment on other people’s blog, I see my profile image, my name and my comment displayed, but when I click on my avatar or name, it does not lead to my site, instead it goes to: “Server not found.” If this is the case, if people want to check me out, they would not be able to because they go to a “not found” page.

    I need help with this. Thank you.

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

    Hi there. Go to your account settings using this link: https://wordpress.com/me/account

    The link in the Web Address field is the one people will go to when they click on your gravatar. Make sure that the correct link displays there, and also that the link is complete, i.e. starting with http://

    If that doesn’t fix it, please provide a link to a post where you commented so I can try clicking it myself and see exactly what happens.

    Thank you Kokkieh for your response.

    The link in the Web Address had been corrected. But I’m still directed to the “not found” page whenever I click on my name in the blogs where I left comments before I had fixed the link. Can’t that be fixed?

    This site is one example (I’m the last commenter, so you can easily find me) https://klregister.wordpress.com/2015/03/28/spirit-of-fear/

    Thank you again in advance for any help.

    The link in the Web Address had been corrected.

    So there was a mistake in that link?

    I should perhaps have added above, that link is cached with your username and gravatar image when you leave a comment, so changing the link in settings won’t change it for old comments, but only new ones. If you’ve corrected that link it should now show correctly from the next comment you make onwards (let us know if it doesn’t). I’m afraid there’s nothing that can be done about the old comments.

    I see at the link you provided your username links to a non-existing URL, but your profile picture correctly links to your Gravatar profile. If you add your website to your Gravatar profile as well, people clicking on your picture with older comments will be able to find your site that way. You can add your website to your Gravatar profile here: http://en.gravatar.com/profiles/edit/#your-links
