Profile Photo
-
I just switched my WordPress blog to the self-hosted version. I succeeded in making the appropriate changes in the Reader but I can’t get my Profile Photo to display on my list of Blogs I Follow.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Gary,
For self-hosted blogs, you’ll see the RSS icon in your Reader as shown here:
This is because the blog is not hosted at WordPress.com. The image displayed denotes blogs that you’re following as a feed rather than blogs hosted directly at WordPress.com. Can you confirm that is the image you’re referring to?

Hey Gary,
The photos in this thread and the photo in the Reader you mention are actually two different identifiers. Your photo in this thread is representative of your WordPress.com account and your Gravatar account. The image you’re noticing under Blogs I Follow is the Blavatar that is set for the blog. More about Blavatars can be found here:

In some cases, the user profile photo (Avatar) and the blog photo (Blavatar) are the same.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to add a site photo for self-hosted sites that will appear in the Blogs I Follow portion of your reader.

Jeremy:
The link you gave me doesn’t apply to the self-hosted WordPress version. Of course, I still have the dashboard for my old version so i did upload a Blavatar pic there.
Thanks!
Gary

Hey Gary,
You’re definitely correct; the Blavatar link only applies to blogs at WordPress.com. It isn’t possible to upload an image that will appear under the Blogs I Follow portion of your Reader for your self-hosted blog.
