  err…hello..?
  I’m (quite) new here.

  I want to put a custom avatar. I’ve searched in the forum and in faqs regarding uploading a custom avatar.
  most answers shows either :
  1.how to edit avatar options in discussion setting,
  2.how to upload gravatar. but I only want a gravatar.
  or is it the new standard currently? gravatar instead of avatar?

  pardon me, this might be a stupid question but by myself, I can’t upload a custom avatar.

  thanks!

  Gravatar = avatar. http://support.wordpress.com/avatars/gravatars/

  And then there are blavatars [the little icons in the broser address bar]: http://support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/

  To up load your Avatar I recommend Pointing your browser
  at Gravatar – Globally Recognized Avatars It it doesn’t show you logged in
  you’ll need to use your WP.com login information.

  lol bravatars who made that name up. They are originally called a favicon. Blavatar is silly and what does bl stand for anyway?
