  Hi,

  I just started my blog today and I have been seeing all the people I follow or most of them display an icon next to their blog name on the reader. I have gone through all settings but nothing. Please help? I mean the little icon that appears next to your site name that looks by default as a globe in grey background. (not the gravatar/profile icon. I have added a gravity as I thought that was it but is not. Still the globe)

  Thanks in advance,
  Argi

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

  I see this gravatar/blavatar image https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/7bee3ef31a631f94836e5521c8497821?s=48&d=identicon&r=g

  A wordpress.com account is a gravatar account. They are one in the same.

  Note that 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

  “http://argirofrantzi.wordpress.com/” 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/

  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 > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”.

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

  Dashboard → Users → My Profile
