How do I get a Gravatar for the comments I leave

Since the new template release I have gotten quite a few emails in regards to readers and authors wanting to know how to get a Gravatar. A Gravatar is a globally recognized photo that is associated with your email address. If you have a Gravatar and leave a comment on TLL your photo will come up as opposed to the default space holder.

I just found a website that makes getting a Gravatar even easier than ever. Mypictr is a wonderful site that makes setting up a Gravatar Easy. Just upload the photo you want to use, on the Network drop down chose Gravatar, and click on PICTRIT! Whammo!!! You now have a Gravatar. I hope this helps all who inquired.

Thanks for this information – I’d also like to know how to get that little picture in the url box next to your http url link……. I have no idea what it’s called.

How do you load your avatar so that it appears next to your comments? Also how do you edit your comments after you post if you make a mistake?
Thanks,
Amy

Fash~ Just follow the instructions in this post and create a Gravatar (aka avatar that will appear next to your comments) Gravatars are associated with specific email addresses. This means when you leave a comment you will have to use the email address you used to set up your Gravatar for it to show up on a blog, website, ect.

At this time there is no way to edit your comments once they are posted. It is something I’m looking into though.Thanks for reading TLL and we hope you’ll come back!
