I can’t even find the list of tags to choose from. You might think from this that I am a rank beginner with computers,, but this is not true. I have been working on computers for years. I want to open a business site on WordPress to publicize my online counseling business. joycefeltonlcsw.com
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Here’s a link in the support documents to help with tags:

A lot of the problems I have had have been with the Gravatar–the picture won’t upload, when it uploads, it is blank, the cropper doesn’t work or is simply not present. or cropped or uncropped onto my front page. I don’t see any directios and when there are any, I follow them. I promis you I am not a stupid or ignorant woman. I have been following the tutorials, not once, but many times. I’m sure the answer is obvious. Right now I am stuck on loading the picture onto my front page.

Do you mean a header image?
The suggested header image dimensions are 960 by 250 (width, height). However, both are flexible so you can upload a smaller cropped image if you wish. The width is limited to 2000. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentytwelve/
This is a link to instructions for uploading a header image http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/custom-header-image/#uploading-a-custom-header-image
For uploading images posts and pages see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/
Here are more details about the options for uploading images http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/images-the-three-link-options/

This is awful! I can’t get my custom changes to stick.
WordPress.com sells custom design upgrades. They allow us to “preview” change that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase the upgrade.
If you have not purchased the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
Appearance > Header
Appearance > Background
Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
Site Title and Tagline > Settings > GeneralIf you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.
To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.
