Ever wonder how to display your own personalized graphic or picture whenever you comment on a WordPress blog? Or maybe you are interested in getting your thumbnail picture to show up in our discussion forum?

Then this is the post for you! The solution you need is known as a Gravatar (short for a Globally Recognized Avatar), and it couldn’t be easier to get one.

How to Create a Gravatar:

Head over to http://en.gravatar.com/.  Locate the Log in/Sign up drop down menu and select “Sign up.”

Input your e-mail address.

You will then be sent a message asking you to verify your information.  Follow the instructions in the e-mail.

Once done, head back to the Gravatar site and select Manage My Gravatars from the My Account drop down menu.


Upload your picture from your hard drive or your online image to the Gravatar site.

That’s it.  Your image should now follow you everywhere you go in the land of WordPress blogs.

Now, go get your pretty face uploaded so we can all see you on Monday!

    I cannot create a gravatar from my personal picture file on this website. I follow instructions but then am told that my name is already in use or my password does not match up. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for a marvelous posting! I actually enjoyed reading it, you may be a great author.I will always bookmark your blog and will often come back in the foreseeable future. I want to encourage you to continue your great writing, have a nice morning!

    Alright so this is a bit off topic but I noticed that when I comment I don’t see my latest post like I see everybody else. Am I doing something wrong.

    Darn! I missed this! Can I be notified of the next event… sounds like fun!

    I’m 99% positive I signed up, and hope I’m right because it sounds like this is going to be an incredible, not-to-be-missed experience! I’ve been out of the loop this past week because of my 20th high school reunion, but now that it’s over I’m looking forward to getting back on track with my SITStas and meeting my “tribe”!

    I’m so looking forward to this forum and meeting other bloggers as well. I recently figured out how to upload a photo to Gravatar during the 31DBBB and so glad that I did. Again looking forward and thanks to the SITS Girls!!
