  Good day,

  I ALREADY have a gravatar: http://en.gravatar.com/lorrainejoubert

  Yet, WordPress, created another one: http://en.gravatar.com/lorrainejoubert1763

  How do I get WordPress to use the original one? – The purpose of gravatar is to be used over all sites. It makes no sense for WordPress to create another profile!!

  Hi there,

  It looks like you have two separate accounts with WordPress and/or Gravatar.

  Gravatar is based on your email address. When you created an account for your blog lorrainejoubert1763.wordpress.com, you used a different email than the one associated with your pre-existing Gravatar.

  The solution would be to either change the email address associated with your current WordPress.com blog via your Dashboard > Users > Personal Settings. Conversely, you could simply personalize your new Gravatar account and utilize both the old and new one.
