What is Gravatar?

Gravatar (Globally Recognized Avatar) is a service that provides a way to have one avatar across multiple websites. When you update your Gravatar, it automatically updates on all sites using Gravatar, including Wittypen.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create or Log Into Your Gravatar Account
   • Visit the Gravatar website at Gravatar.com.
   • If you already have a WordPress.com account, log in with those credentials. Otherwise, create a new account.
2. Link Your Email Address
   • Once logged in, add the email address associated with your Wittypen account to your Gravatar profile. This step is crucial as Gravatar uses this email to display your avatar.
   • Upload Your New Profile Picture
3. Click on 'Add a new image' and choose the source to upload your picture.
   • You can upload from your computer, an internet URL, a webcam, or a previously uploaded image.
   • Crop and Adjust Your Image
   • After uploading, you'll have the option to crop and adjust your image. Gravatar provides a simple tool for cropping.
4. Assign the Image to Your Email
   • After adjusting your image, you will be prompted to assign it to one of your email addresses.
   • Select the email address you use for your Wittypen account.
5. Complete the Process
   • Click 'Save', and your new profile picture is set.

Things to Remember

• The profile picture update might not be instantaneous on Wittypen. It can take a few minutes to a few hours for the changes to reflect.
