  I’m trying to update my profile picture, but going through this stupid gravatar thing is not letting me do it. Why do we have to go through that now?

  WordPress.com and gravatar.com accounts are one in the same and have always been one in the same. http://blog.gravatar.com/2013/04/03/gravatar-and-wordpress-com-together-forever/

  Know that there is only a single gravatar image and a single email address for every username account, and that a wordpress.com account and a gravatar account are one in the same thing. Gravatar support docs are at http://en.gravatar.com/support/ See this one http://en.gravatar.com/support/existing-account/

  Gravatar/blavatar (favicon) images do not show up instantly after uploading them. Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change.

  Dashboard → Settings → General

  Replace “http://INSERT_NAME_OF_BLOG” below with

  the actual name of your blog in the URL

  http://INSERT_NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

  Do not keep uploading!
  Do not forget to select an image rating.

  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/gravatars/

  For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/gravatar-avatar-blavatar/

  To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to Dashboard > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/gravatar-hovercards/

  Note that you can also change your gravatar on another page on your blog if you prefer to.
