  I recently uploaded a new photo via Gravitar and it will not appear on my blog. I’ve tried several times to remedy it without any success. Looking for a solution.

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

  Hello there,
  Gravatars/blavatars do not show up instantly after uploading them. Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change. Do not keep uploading!
  
  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/gravatars/
  For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/24/gravatar-avatar-blavatar/

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

  •If you change your avatar, it may take a few hours to show because of our cache. You may clear your browser’s cache to immediately see the change.

  This was one of the suggestions that I tried. It was Sunday when I changed the avitar. Still nothing.

  Thank you for the quick response.

  It has been six days and my avitar still hasn’t appeared on my blog. Now what do I do?

  I’m so sorry this fell through the cracks. Have you tried uploading the gravatar here? > Dashboard > Users > My Profile

  Hi gracvejiyoung,

  Thank you for your response. However, there seems to be a problem. Your suggestion doesn’t match the original Writr theme. Shouldn’t the Gravitar photo be on the top of the sidebar above the header? How do I move it there? How do I get a round frame around the photo?

  Your detailed theme description is found here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/writr/
  Scroll down to Custom Header and Gravatar for instructions please.
