TimeThief: Question – Avatars? Profiles?

  • Unknown's avatar

    This probably isn’t the correct forum to ask these questions, but I cannot figure this out.

    1) When someone “likes” my posts, why can’t I just go to their blog, instead of their Avatar page? I would like to be able to go directly to their blog.

    2) Do you think it is better for me to put a real picture of myself on my Avatar profile?

    3) Why do I have to have an Avatar profile?

    Do you have a post on this subject?

    I cannot figure this Avatar stuff out for anything. Is Avatar a part of WordPress? I don’t like setting up a whole profile on a different site that I do not trust.

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

    1) the like picture is the avatar page. click their name to go to their site.

    2) Its up to you most people after a few months do put their picture up, i have on my other site.

    3) its just to tell a few things about you if you wish and to add your other sites onto.

    4) i’m 99% sure it is wordpress, or i would not be in it.

    5)

    I click on their name but it never goes to thier blog.

    One more question:

    Why are there so many WordPress.com Spam blogs?

    Can’t WP tell which sites are spammers?

    Yea, but here is the thing:

    Why does WP have the Gravatars? Wouldn’t people just normally put all of that information on the “about page” I like the little pictures, but it’s kind of a pain to click on a “like” someone made, and then have such a hard time going to their actual blog.

    I don’t understand why people wouldn’t just put everything that’s on the Gravatar profile in the “about” page.

    The Gravatar thing seems like one more step that is kind of a pain for me to get to the person’s actual blog.

    Oh well, maybe it’s just me that is having a technical issue getting to the person’s actual blog, when they put a “like” on one of my posts.

    I will have to go directly to her site because I have a ton of questions.
