  Hi
  I can’t seem to upload a profile picture – it only gives me the option of creating an online avatar through Gravatar. Which is not what I want.

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

  You can upload any image you want into any page or post.

  WordPress.COM and Gravatar are both owned by the same company ie. Automattic Inc. A wordpress.com account and a gravatar account are one in the same thing. If you want to have an image accompany your comments left on gravatar enabled sites read:
  Where Will My Gravatar Appear?
  http://en.gravatar.com/support/gravatar-locations/

  See Upload an Avatar https://en.support.wordpress.com/gravatars/#upload-an-avatar

  You can change your gravatar at any time by clicking on the existing one on this page https://wordpress.com/me

  You can use one gravatar image for each username account. It will apply to all sites referred under the same username account. And, the Gravatar help link is http://en.gravatar.com/support/

  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. The accepted file types are:
  .jpg/.jpeg
  .gif
  .png

  Do not forget to select an image rating.
  Know that other bloggers can choose not to display any “erotic” gravatar’s on their site.

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

  To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to Dashboard > Settings > Discussion

  http://reducktor.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-discussion.php

  and scroll way down the page to “Avatars”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/gravatar-hovercards/
