How to Change the Avatar Gravatar in Wordpress
Gravatar---short for "globally recognized avatar"---is a type of Internet avatar that appears in the comments section of any site that supports the Gravatar plug-in. When users leave a comment on a blog or website, they may be prompted to enter an email address. Any email address linked to a Gravatar account displays that user's Gravatar image if the site has the Gravatar plug-in. Changing your WordPress Gravatar image is easy, requiring little more than an account with Gravatar or WordPress and an idea for a new image.
