  Thank you,

  Julie

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

  Thank you. But what if I want the image to be at the top of my blog always? Like: http://www.ricksegel.com/blog/

  And how come my photo doesn’t display next to my name on these posts?

  Thanks again,

  Julie

  Please provide a link to your blog: we often need to see it to give you an accurate answer. In fact, we need to see it in order to know you are in the right forum. Start with http://
  or link your name to your blog as step 2 here:

  It makes answering your question so much easier if we volunteers don’t have to do detective work first!

  About your picture appearing in the forums, check here:

  Read all the way to the bottom if you have trouble accessing gravatar from your dashboard.

  Note that a gravatar is different from a blavatar:

  You could put your picture into a text widget on your sidebar. Or use an authors widget.

  Or put it into a post, and make that one single post sticky:

  Or if your theme has a custom header option, you could put your picture into the header.
