My you’re looking a little grey and white today…
Ever wonder how to ditch the patchwork quilt sections or grey/white head and shoulders icon when you comment on some blogs? Wonder no more… here’s how!
Blogs such as WordPress require a little extra help and need a place to grab said picture from. Gravatar will get you there. It’s easy, free and takes just a couple minutes to set up!
In a nutshell: you choose the email you wish to use to comment on blogs with, and apply a photo to that email.
How to set up Gravatar
1. Visit Gravatar.com.
2. Enter an email you wish to use to get started…
3. You’ll go through a confirmation process via that email to verify it’s really you.
The rest of the steps are totally self explanatory.
The really cool thing about Gravatar is you can apply different pictures to different email accounts if desired. It’s all up to you!
I’d love to see your smiling faces, so I hope you sign up! If you do, you’ll instantly see your face beside your comment in comments!
Feel free to do a test! Comment below and see if you need a Gravatar. If you find you have no picture, go sign up and it’ll appear on it’s own without doing one extra thing! Just make sure you use the same email.
I hope to see your faces smiling back at me soon! 🙂 I’ll be checkin’ on ya…
(it feels so good to blog again! weeee!)
WOW Donna – your ‘new home’ is so totally original. Very glad you are now HERE again. Missed you (did check on FB though to see how things were going). Will be looking into Gravatar.

Testing to see if Gravatar is ‘now here’. Followed your instructions.

Yay!! I see you! 🙂
I have a Gravatar and it works like a charm (most of the time :)) There are always some blogs that give me trouble. I’m interested to see if it works here! I like your new digs!
Thanks for sharing. BTW, love your new look!
Set up with Gravatar so I wouldn’t be so grey. Let’s see if I did it correctly.
I hope you come back and try again Gina!
Hi Donna! ‘Love the new blog look! I have some blogs on Blogspot, and one on WordPress also. Thanks for the Gravatar info… when I did my image I just figured it out hot-and-miss, lol!
Can’t remember where I found the info from… I think another blogger offered it up like how I am here… 🙂
I just added a Gravatar as my first step to switching over to WordPress.
Love your new layout.

Exciting Traci! Good for you!
Nice information about Gravatar. I set mine up, hope it works!
Yay! Lookit you!!
Here’s a test, since the process at Gravatar kind of leaves you hanging as to whether or not you’re done.
BTW – your new blog look is fabulous & so YOU – although I did expect a few more nuts & bolts in the mix 😉
YAY! It worked! Thanks for the tip to go to Gravatar Donna!
You nailed it Beth!
Let’s see if my gravatar works!
I seeeee youuuuu! 🙂
Can’t tell you how much I love following you around on all your adventures! Here’s hoping a picture shows up:)
Thanks for the tip, Donna!
Loving this new look – so slick, but funky and junky too!
If I had known there was a test, I would have taken a different pic!
Hope you are being serious about us using this comment section to check our Gravatar. It has been 35 minutes – I am doing another check.
Still waiting.
I’m so jealous since your blog is sooooo cooooooool. Congrats.
Love the new look! Did you design this? It is amazing. I will try the Gravatar a little later.
Thanks for the reminder for how to set up Gravatar – very helpful!
testing…. one two three…
Hi Donna! I’ve really been enjoying your new blog look. Very nice. My favorite thing is how FAST everything loads up! Hope you’re doing well…. Hugs from Tennessee! ~ Dori ~
I figured out the Gravatar thing just recently, but I’ve got lots to learn – just new at this blogging thing 🙂 Love your new look – I’m a Canadian prairie girl and I really enjoy all the Canadian news!
I was attracted to your most recent post because you were Junkin’. Well I truly am Junkin! Since the day I was born. As I scrolled through your posts I saw this on how to get your gravy tar. Hope it works.
Gravatar. Stupid auto correct.
I LOVE the new blog format! It’s Awesome! Going to see if I need a Gravatar!
xoxo
It works! Yippee! Your a genius!
Thanks!
