Setup Your Author Profile (Gravatar)

The only way to have your picture show up alongside your author profile on your website is to setup a Globally Recognized Avatar, or Gravatar. This associates a profile with your email address – and then loads your profile onto websites that use the service.

Most people put this off… which means they’re stuck with a little gray outline, and who wants to be recognized globally as a little gray outline?

This week’s video shows you how to setup your Gravatar in just 3 minutes, and what you’ll see on your website once you’re complete.
