How to Get Your Photo to Show Up in Your Comments
ByYou may have noticed on many WordPress Blogs/Websites that when people make a comment a little tiny photo of them shows up. But when YOU make a comment, all you get is that ‘mystery man’ in grey. Boring!
Well, if you’d like to have an image next to your comments on any WordPress website on the internet, you can use a ‘Gravatar’. A ‘Gravatar’ is your little avatar that shows up when you comment on your websites, or other websites.
To get a ‘Gravatar’, you just open a free account by going to www.Gravatar.com , and upload your picture ONCE.
Then anytime you comment on someone’s WordPress website, it shows up automatically! I created a short video to explain how you set this up. It only takes a few minutes.

Thanks so much Christina for the great tip about gravatar’s! It took me 2 minutes to make my gravatar!
I’ve been listening to your teleseminar from TSS 1ShoppingCart. I love how you cover all the bases! Thanks for being such a great teacher!
Great tip.
I have a gravatar account and have at least 3 links there but sometimes it still doesn’t show up. I guess I need to go back and check it out again.
Thanks.
Well, added this email so I should be all set! Let’s see if you can see me!
Christine
I see you Christine!
Thanks Christina for the wonderful tip. I have joined up and hopefully you will see me. I have just found your site and am loving all the information which is so timely because I have started two blogs and want to eventually start a membership site. I am so glad I will be able to learn to do it myself instead of rely on some one else. Keep up the great info!
Charyn,
So glad you are liking the information. I will look for you on Tuesday during new student registrations….
Christina, I just registered a new domain name for a new website that I want to put up. If I register with my old website and email address and I want to show my new one, will I be able to do that with the Gravatar? In the video that you provided, I see where it says you cannot delete an email address. Is that correct? Even if you are no longer using it? I’m thinking I should wait to create my Gravatar account until I have my website up with the corresponding email address. Thanks for you informative lesson.
Eva,
with gravatar you can have multiple email addresses.
I would not worry about that, I would just go get a gravatar and start using it. It’s ok if you stop using an email address, because that email address is not public.
Are you going to join me in the summer program?
