What the heck is a gravatar you might be asking yourself? Well I just learned about this little jewel myself, while I was helping a client with a blog. I could not figure out how to make the image of a blank head change to his picture on the blog. Well after putting in a note to the Office Auto Pilot Team they steered me in the right direction. Now I want to share the knowledge with you and save you the hair pulling and teeth grinding, of what is supposed to be a simple task. 

The definition of what a gravatar is on the gravatar website goes like this; “your gravatar is an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things like comment or post on a blog. Avatars help identify your post on blogs and web forums, so why not on any site?” So now that we all know what a gravatar is we can talk about how to make them work for you. 

Do you recognize this image?  —>

If this image is familiar to you then you have not yet set up your Gravatar. Yeah I know, Mind Blowing! You can finally have your picture there when you log in. This also gives you an image if you are using the Agency Revolution or Fire Fly blog attached to your website. 

Step One: Go here get started

Step Two: Click on the Email Link and Set up Your Account

Step Three: click on “My Account” in the top right hand corer

Step Four: Select Manage My Gavatar

Step Five: Add an image, crop and finish  

Step Six: Select the image you want to use and Confirm it

Now it looks like this—>

Like I said before it also creates a picture for the blog. Easy to do and makes it look much nicer.
