  My Avatar is not showing up on the WordPress site, but I have three of them loaded onto the site that handles them secure.gravatar.com. so when I am looking at my profile it shows that image of a person with a blue background. I have tried to upload it like 5 times now with no success. Can you please help?

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

  I see that you are referring to this account http://en.gravatar.com/jimt156

  Gravatars/blavatars (favicons) do not show up instantly after uploading them. Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change.

  Dashboard → Settings → General

  Do not keep uploading!
  Do not forget to select an image rating.

  To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”.
