Add your own user photo to WP PSA site by going to gravatar and uploading your pix. It’s free. And is the way WP does user photos. Globally recognized!
What is a Gravatar?
When browsing different web sites, you may notice that many users have a picture next to their name. These pictures are called “avatars.” WordPress, however, uses a specific type of avatar called “Gravatars”–short for “Globally Recognized Avatar.” Unlike standard avatars, Gravatars follow you around the web and automatically appear when you post a comment on a WordPress site.
WordPress integrates Gravatars into every WordPress site. Once registered with Gravatar, the service matches your WordPress profile information to the email address registered with Gravatar and displays your custom Gravatar image next to comments and (optionally) elsewhere on the WordPress site. If you choose not to sign up with Gravatar, the default icon set by the Administrator appears next to your name.
You may notice that I’ve added the opportunity to have new posts and comments ALERT sent to you by email. We should test this out.
As you will see, I now have an avatar. Turns out that I had a Gravatar account for my WP.com blog test site, but it was associated with a different e-mail address than I am using for PSA. Fortunately, one can add multiple e-mail accounts (you cannot delete the initial one though), so I did.
When I went to upload the picture I wanted to use, it was too large and Gravatar only allows you to crop, not reduce in size. Thus I opted on Picacho Mountain.
I clicked the notify of follow-up comments box, so if you comment, I will see if I get notice.

Interestingly, I got an e-mail notification of your comment, but so far, no RSS feed of the comment???
I now have received RSS feeds of John’s comment and my follow-up. Curious that there would be a different delivery delay – must have something to do with the RSS platform.
