Why cant I see my avitar
-
Why is there no avitar on my blog site? Its there if Im logged in, but not there if Im not logged in, which is how most readers would view it?
Is there any other method thaty readers could view my profile?
ThanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I can see your gravatar/avatar here. Do note that it does take some time for them to show up after your upload one. Additional Information For answers to common gravatar questions you can read these > http://en.gravatar.com/site/faq/
In order to display gravatars/avatars on your own blog you must enable the settings here > Settings > Discussion
A few themes do provide “author profiles” that display a gravatar/avatar beneath each and every blog post published. These “author profiles” are meant to be brief entries and the data is drawn from this page on your blog > Users > My Profile >”About you”.
Expanded author profiles are found on About pages.

thanks for your trouble ….but I have enabled the gravatar …. and when i go to my blog on wordpress, i dont see it anywhere. does it only work if youlre logged in … most readers would not actually log in to someones blog, would they?

I see your gavatar displayed in your “author profile” below every post on your blog. If you wish your can enable the display of garacatrs in your Recent Comments widget > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/recent-comments-widget/

The front pages of our blogs showcase content and comments are collapsed on that page and you cannot change this. The way the posts and comments function is coded into the core of WordPress. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.
In a new blog one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.
Click this link and the post will open on it’s own page. Below it you will see your gravatar and author profile. > http://kapyongkorea.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/the-korean-war-goes-to-the-oscars/

The data for that “author profile” below posts is derived from the content in “About you” on this page > Users > My Profile as I explained in your other thread here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wheres-my-biog?replies=4#post-859835
Pages are static. They are a good way to publish information that doesn’t change much, like an About page. I would create an About page and copy and paste that lengthy block of text ie. your expanded bio onto it. Then I would go here > Users > My Profile and in the “About you” section I would enter only a single sentace ie. a brief bio and delete the rest.

wow. thats amazing. id have never figured that out on my own in a kazillion years.
so do i understand this … the way people can read your profile is to click on the blog “headline”?
is there some way to make a little message on the blog telling people they can do that, i wonder. something like: “for writers biog click on header” -
When I want to read a bio I click the “about” page link.
Click for an example of an About page
Click into this post and scroll to the bottom to see an example of a brief “author profile” at the end of the post just above the comment box.
