There is something that is starting to drive me CRAZY! Blogs that make it into the Blogs of the Day and they haven’t even figured out how to add an Gravatar to their blog.
They can write good enough material to make it onto the BOTD but they have a boring/plain Gravatar.
As I write this there is one of these plain Gravatars setting at #2. It is CNN Politics: Has Palin snubbed Oprah?
If CNN doesn’t have a clue then how many other bloggers are blogging with a boring Gravatars?
Don’t worry becuase I am going to give you step by step directions on how to add an Gravatars.
Step 1: Log into your WordPress account.
Step 2: Once you log in to your account click on the name of your site located underneath your boring Gravatars (left side of screen).
Step 3: This step use to be more simple but now we have WordPress 2.7. Don’t worry because it is still easy enough. Find the Users heading. Now click on the arrow to the right of it. A menu will drop down and you should see a Authors & Users, Your Profile, and Invites. Click on Your Profile.
Step 4: On the right side of the screen you will see My Picture. This is wear you can upload a picture of your choice from your computer. The picture should be the same width and height. If you need to resize a photo I prefer Photobucket. Once your done browsing for a photo click Upload Image.
Step 5: Now you will see Crop uploaded image. Click on the bottom right dotted-line and your picture should crop to the correct place. Now click Crop Image.
Step 6: All Done! That’s it. I have had to wait up to half an hour to see my new, shiny, Gravatars.
PS: Remember that even if you choose an ugly picture for your Gravatars it will be much, much better than a generic, generated Gravatar that WordPress provides.
