How do I get my picture to show up with my comments on your blog?

Written by Dustin Wheeler, CPA. Posted in Social Media, Tech Tips

It’s frequently asked questions time on Diving into the Details!  With this one, we’re not diving too deep. Having your picture (a.k.a. avatar) appear in my blog comments takes only a couple of minutes.  Go ahead, time yourself and let me know if I’m wrong.
  1. Go to the Gravatar website.
  2. Create an account.
  3. Verify your e-mail address.
  4. Upload a picture, and you’re done!
Gravatar associates your picture with your e-mail address whenever you leave a comment on a WordPress blog (and a few other blog platforms).  If you have multiple e-mail addresses like I do, you’ll either want to confirm multiple e-mail accounts with Gravatar or make sure you are consistenly using the same e-mail address when you comment on blogs. Ready to show off your avatar?  Leave a comment below!

    And if you change your avatar on Gravatar, the change flows through to all those blogs out there you’ve commented on, like Dustin’s!

    Thanks for posting this. I had an account already, but my picture wasn’t showing up on posts and I didn’t know why. Da I hadn’t added the email that I was now using when posting. Whala. I now have a picture.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks for telling us about Gravatar. I’m giving it a try. We will see if it works for me.

    It worked! It’s nice to add a face to a name and comment!
