Probably a stupid question on new Reader

  In the new Reader, how do I get the gravatar to show up on the front? It’s there inside, but not in the front any longer. Some have it and some don’t. What changed?
  I don’t like the new changes, it seems it was change for change sake.

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

  In the latest update, the Gravatar now only shows up on the single-post view in the Reader.

  It’s not change for the sake of change. We are constantly making updates with the goal to improve and to connect more readers with more bloggers. We also get a lot of feedback and include it as one factor when considering what changes to make in combination with other factors like metrics as well as input from experienced designers and developers working on the projects.

  Thanks for answering. But some bloggers have it on the outside of the Reader and after you click to read it. And some don’t we now have a generic WordPress Gravatar. How do I get it like that? It was there before the changes.
  Thanks.

  Can you tell me the blog address for one example that now has a generic Gravatar? I will take a closer look.

  I checked the first one and found it doesn’t have a blog icon saved.

  You can add one here:
  https://tsfphotoscartoons.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

  Look for the “Blog Picture / Icon” setting at the top right of that page.

  Thanks for doing that!

  I checked the blog feed for tsfphotoscartoons.com in the Reader yesterday and the site icon wasn’t showing up yet, but when I checked again this morning it was working for me. Can you check it again and confirm wether you can see it working at https://wordpress.com/read/blog/feed/19805440 now? You may need to force refresh your browser view or close it and re-open it to see the change.
