  My personal picture appears on my Gravatar but not my WordPress profile. Not sure why…

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

  Note that 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.

  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”.

  Thanks timethief…if you’re saying it takes a few days then I’m not worried. I just uploaded it yesterday…I thought I read that it takes an hour or so…

  I’m having this same problem. I’ve had my blog for over a year and when I hover over the icon, my Gravatar it will show up. (The updated one) but I still cannot get it to work. I’ve tried the settings> discussion> avatars tip but I cannot find a section that says avatars.

  thanks! my blog in question is anslyerosamond.wordpress.com
