  Hi,

  First of all: I was told by the staff ‘macmanx’ about three years ago in another topic of mine:
  “Gravatar provides a central place for you to manage your avatars and profile information across a wide variety of sites and applications, not just WordPress.com. ZumoDrive appears to be just one of those other sites. Of course, any service that uses Gravatar for avatars pulls them in as soon as you sign up.”

  However, I am now posting you to ask you:

  1-Why do I need to sing in to Gravatar only with WordPress.com account, and why not sing in to Gravatar with other site/service accounts as long as Gravatar provides a central place for you to manage your avatars and profile information across a wide variety of sites and applications(Gravatar allows you to manage all of your online identities in one place on the web)?

  2-Why does Gravatar not have its own separate profile account?

  3- When trying to sing up a Gravatar account, then I was referred

  “Sign in to Gravatar with WordPress.com Connect

  Gravatar now allows you to use a WordPress.com account to sign in. If you have a WordPress.com account already then you can use that, or you can create a new one.”

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

  Could anyone please reply to me?

  I have read this: Gravatar is a part of the WordPress.com network. If you have registered for an account on WordPress.com, you will also have a Gravatar account, and can log in to Gravatar at any time using your WordPress.com credentials. If you don’t yet have a WordPress.com account, you’ll need to sign up for one to use Gravatar.

  But, I still ask these questions:
